1866: Sunlight upon my steel
```~~~... ... ...~~~```
1866: War is over;
Farmer to a soldier,
Soldier to gambler and a thieve,
No honest work found here anymore, once trained so hard to kill;
```~~~... ... ...~~~```
From the East, Ridin out west,
Sunlight Silently falling upon my steel
Waiting to make my move, I make no sound;
~~~... ... ...~~~
On a hell bound train from nowhere
Lamentations of the Collected,
Mournful cry of the lone rider,
The bounty, tracked and bruised
Lost among the stains of my time;
```~~~... ... ...~~~```
The Death Hunt;
See the dead stare in the eye,
the hot lead sinking in, feel the cold knife twisting in,
The Bullwhip tears across skin,
Leaving nothing left to see or prove;
Trigger finger, gold teeth, a collections and souvenir
It is the way of the new world
Thyne will shall be done,
On earth;
~~~... ... ...~~~
The nations childhood ends,
And the Uniforms that’s been worn,
son father and Husband; Blacksmith, ranger, tracker and bounty hunter,
guerilla the unconventional warfare,
Services are not free, always collecting and getting paid
No rest, no sanctuary,
only desperation and anger, sadness in all tears,
No love, only hunter and hunted
Once afraid to shoot strangers,
```~~~… … …~~~```

Ridin out west,
Sunlight Silently falling upon my steel
Livin simple, livin free, aint need to trust no one, no one got to trust in me
Aint No rules… this side a town,
Better watch out,
Hammer falls gonna bring you down
Been no reason, Theres no rhyme,
Takin everythin in stride
Livin hard, Livin free,
My Model 73 puts it all on the line
In,,, Boots of Spanish Leather, Cigar in my hand,
Aces up my sleeve,
By Pistol knife an whip, am a Gambler and a thieve,
And Lord he know, can cut you down in either hand;
Escape the noose,,, Bustin Loose, Lord; a part of me wont ever die
Ridin Hard and Heavy
Steps are quick and light
Ridin’ out west
Sunlight fallin silently on the steel
