Gunning down horses, gunning down tails, Gunning down archaic forces That follow my nightmares through the eve With its eye on my hilt and its back to its siege I run and I run and I am never done If I stop now, I stop for eternity I lay waste on the Cimmerian horizon And I drink to the gaps in my vision. Fire crackles, sizzles like a tortured Monk; Charcoal smoke lifts the air, Turns the trees black and navy blue As putrid smoke buries itself in my hair The fire is my only hope now I tell you they can’t see it Their eyeless sockets will never know And they’ll never find me here.

Gunning
Gunning down horses, gunning down tails, Gunning down archaic forces That follow my nightmares through the eve With its eye on my hilt and its back to its siege I run and I run and I am never done If I stop now, I stop for eternity I lay waste on the Cimmerian horizon And I drink to the gaps in my vision. Fire crackles, sizzles like a tortured Monk; Charcoal smoke lifts the air, Turns the trees black and navy blue As putrid smoke buries itself in my hair The fire is my only hope now I tell you they can’t see it Their eyeless sockets will never know And they’ll never find me here.
