Hanging up My Guns/A Prayer at Dusk
Can't count the bodies anymore The blood and whiskey dance like lovers on the barroom floor These eyes are sore These boots are worn They cannot tell the story anymore The roads I've traveled far and wide They speak to me just like the tears of a widowed bride These guns are lies The hate has died It never filled the emptiness inside For all the wicked things I've done I'm hanging up my guns I can't defend what I've become I'm hanging up my gun I've only known life on the run I'm hanging up my gun And all this guilt it weighs a ton I'm hanging up my guns I felt the fear of death within I've held the fragile face of life up against my skin If I could begin again I'd separate myself from that of my dark twin Well I've ended lives, I've shattered hopes My hell awaits for me in the form of a hangman's rope And when I choke And when I choke I pray I find the peace that's abandoned my soul
For all the wicked things I've done I'm hanging up my guns I can't defend what I've become Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I'm hanging up my guns This wretched mouth, this bitter tongue I'm hanging up my guns My impotent heart, my blackened lungs I'm hanging up my guns And as the crowd starts to gather To see light leave my eyes They seek judgment and closure For tears they've cried And I, oh, I wanted the same And I can see for the first time in my short life The virtue of vengeance But also the vice And this needless hate that's consumed my soul And as the trap it is readied And the rope it is lowered I look to the sky as my pulse runs colder And wonder if death will this guilt be released And out the corner of my eye I see a girl in a dress She's radiant, beautiful And wants nothing less Than the final bell The final bell to toll But want somebody here Be saying a prayer for my soul And if there's one person here Who could say a prayer for my soul?
