The Golden Revolver

the cowboy saddles for his long road

he packs his saddle and leaves his home

his gun at his hip

shotgun at his saddle

he sails the grown under the moon

and treads the desert by day

under the scorching sun

his horse pants as he lashes his demonic whip

he gallops into the sun slowly

a new town with one common enemy

the sun glistens on the cowboys boots

he steps down from his horse

hand upon his holster

he calls out to his enemy

from the shadows a demon appears

pistols of gold and fingers of fire

he puts his hand upon his holster

a challenge of dead eye

shots fired and crows fly into the air

both legends have fallen upon red dirt

he crawls to his horse

a shotgun at his pouch to slay the demon

the demon reaches for its revolver

a blast of the shotgun sumberges him back to hell

the cowboys horse pulls him to the revolver of gold

he cries in pain as the demons bullets sink in

he wants it to end

2 bullets left in the revolver

one for himself and one for the cowboys way

always leave one last bullet

the hero slays himself on the battlefield

he submerges himself to fight the demon for all eternity

while his carcass lies in the red dirt

the revolver in his hand holds one last bullet

upon his grave lyes the golden revolver

along with his own

upon his tomb engraved

"stranger, demon slayer, hero"
