Some will lose their nerve tonight
Others lose their lives
A flash of fire in the fight
A cold look in my eyes
Passing judgment in the street
Where justice is revealed
I deal with darkness ruthlessly
I love the way it feels
Hear the roaring of the gun
Dead before the fear
Gunsmoke on the setting sun
You know the end is near
There's a shadow on my life
That's colder than the night
A chilling silence in the air
To fuel this dream of light
Dancing madly from the barroom
Where whiskey blinds my eyes
Lady luck is lonely now
Her streak has been denied
Repeat Chorus
I can hear the painful cry
That let's me know you're there
You're tryin' hard to stop me when
You know I just don't care
Another moment on your own
A life shot full of holes
A blanket to close you in
To calm your restless soul
Don't ya
Hear the roaring of the gun
Dead before the fear
Gunsmoke on the setting sun
You know the end is near
You know the end is near
