The Best There Was

When I was a young man

I was told the tale;

Star-crossed lovers' final stand,

a butchered destiny has failed.

This is the story

straight from his ghostly mind

of the love

the life

and the death he left behind...

A lonely tumbleweed creeps

and rolls down these blood-covered streets.

I will exact revenge;

will bring death to this place.

This is my solemn vow;

I'll leave without a trace...

My shot rings out loud

awakening the town.

The man in black, she's in his grasp,

boy put that barrel down

or you're all gonna die....

Unhand that girl, son, she's done nothing wrong

those big doe eyes and bright red lips

have got me won.

Don't worry baby, their blood and makeup

will be spilled soon all across this town...

I pull the Holy iron from the holster;

I see the greedy fire in his eyes as he gets bolder.

This day would bring his death

he knows not who he threatens.

I never will take my last breath;

appointed by the heavens...

(You will not survive to see the night)

I cannot die, I am divine.

Unhand the girl, her love is mine.

His smile grows... Oh, God, he knows...

Her eyes get wider, the scene grows beside her.

The town has gathered to watch the duel.

The New Gemorrha has played me for a fool.

I make my move; he's just as fast.

I hear her cry, it is her last.

I drop my guns, fall to my knees... You took her life. Take mine, please.

I'll be back.

Innocent blood is on your hands.

Death cannot stop me;

My spirit will haunt this land.

I rise;

sacrifice has fulfilled my wish.

The man in black stares;

He's scared...

So scared....

I'll have my revenge.

These streets will run red.......
