The Gunsling

[Intro]
Standing alone in soot and stone
He draws from his holster, a man
Crawling alone through the soot and stone
He makes his way home half to death
In time
In vain
I wash my hands of yesterday
If I should fall
If I should pass
It's worth one last stand before the gates of hell
Crawling alone through the soot and stone
He makes his way home half to death
Standing alone in soot and stone
He draws from his holster, a man

[Verse 1]
When sun sets dusk and streets are cleared
Well this town's renegade is near
Out standing tall, awaiting host
What's it like to see a ghost?
Both outlaws equal, yes indeed
One shot rhythm to the gunsling
So long my sweet (Bye, Bye)

[Chorus]
Standing alone in soot and stone
He draws from his holster, a man
Crawling alone through the soot and stone
He makes his way home half to death

[Verse 2]
He clenched his fists and said a prayer
For every breath of dusty air
He fires loud, waiting heroes
What's it like to be a ghost?
Both outlaws equal, yes indeed
One shot rhythm to the gunsling
So long my sweet

[Pre-Chorus]
I hear these voices calling
"Take your life"
I cannot take this lying down
No

[Chorus]
Standing alone in soot and stone
He draws from his holster, a man
Crawling alone through the soot and stone
He makes his way home half to death

[Post-Chorus]
In time
In vain
I wash my hands of yesterday
If I should fall
If I should pass
It's worth one last stand before the gates of hell
Before the gates of hell
Before the gates of hell

[Pre-Chorus]
I hear these voices calling
"Take your life"
I cannot take this lying down
No

[Chorus]
Standin' alone through the soot and stone...he draws from his holster, a man
Crawlin' alone through the soot and stone...he makes his way home half to death

[Post-Chorus]
In time
In vain
I wash my hands of yesterday
If I should fall
If I should pass
It's worth one last stand before the gates of hell
