"The Gunsling" lyrics - BLACK VEIL BRIDES

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:]
Standin' alone in 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

He clenched his fists and said a prayer for every breath of dusty air
He fires loud; The end is close...what's it like to be a ghost?
Both outlaws equal, yes indeed, a one shot rhythm to the gunsling...so long my sweet

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

[Bridge:]
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)

I hear these voices calling
"Take your life"
I cannot take this lying down

[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

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
