Lyrics
This child was born on a darkest night
In the age when we lived on the ruins of mankind
He was almost done, but a little light
Had breathed a new life into his chest
On other side there was a man
Whose hopes was shattered by tales no more told
He stayed every night and he gazed 'pon the moon
Thinking what could be done if those stories were true
To Moon he flew, and there he found
The darkest of evils, entombed in the deep.
Descend into madness, he stood on his own.
Though high was the price... His soul was undone.
The Rose had faded, the Thorn remains
And Traveler's light he so easily denied
His anger and fury now free from restraints
The same flesh and bone, but so different inside
So now he walks the Earth bringing death and despair
Down the sorrow's road he is following his pride
Those who tried to shoot him down weren't even near
As his tainted gun was so hungry for light
So boy was living in a quiet town
Under the rule of a magistrate's law
Once came a man who gunned tyrant down
The boy was amazed by gunslinger's draw
The man saw a spark in youngster's eyes
And started to teach him the ways of his own
The boy called him father, he called him a friend
They both had now a whole town to defend
One day he came - the man whose eyes
Were full of sorrow and sadness and pain
He spent the night there, but at the sunrise
He burned village down, and people he slain
When hunters came back, they froze in fear
The boy was crying among the ruins of the town
His mentor comforted him as he came near
And they all decided to track bastard down
The course is now set on a righteous revenge
And joined by those tormented by this beast of a man
Many years had passed but the goal did not change
Guided by the flame in hearts to find him again.
One fateful night, the gunfire was heard,
This was form the contest of Thorn with Last Word,
And when no one came, fear was on the rise
They all left the camp, and gone into dark.
To one who stayed, the Ghost had come,
She bore the last message from mentor to son,
She told of the light, that the boy had inside,
And thus she decided to stay by his side.
Persistent in pursuit alone, driven and bold,
At Dwindler's Ridge the villain was found at large,
Though seems that time had cleared any burden he had
Clear and untainted sinner stood before the man.
Nothing to say?
I've been waiting for you. For this day.
Many times I thought you'd faltered. Given up...
But here you are. This is truly an end...
Yours. Not mine.
The journey ends today for the world to behold
The one who watched the moon, and the one that followed sun
And many eons later will this story be told
About the wielder of the Thorn and the man with the golden gun
Disciples of the dark run, when they hear his voice
Even though he once was just a lightless son
And if the moment comes when i'll have to make a choice
I would place my bet on the man with the golden gun
