The Hired Gun

The hired gun did justice wrong
his heart is iced his blood is cold
with no one around to tag along
he stands alone with eyes to kill
his murderous soul is worn like a cold
doffed as the heat of relief runs high
the hired gun is a soft spoken man
and black are the questions that lead him to lie

It was the night when something stilled
a lightning flash revealed a corpse
clad in deciduous leaves and mud
an ex lover drenched in bullet holes
out in the open warfare fields
someone out there rang a gun
and some have been misled to warm
that a night of storm is a time of love

well the morning sun refuses to shine
the sound of wonder is all that remains
the hired gun has left behind
all the reasons why he came
the hired gun did justice wrong
but he is gone like the endless night
but endless nights return my friend
be sure to watch for him tonight

Bandcamp generously sends 85% of your support directly toward my humble living expenses.

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏
