The Gunsling is a song on Black Veil Brides's second EP, Never Give In.
Lyrics[]
When sun sets dusk and streets are cleared
Well, this town's renegade is near
I'm standing tall, awaiting host
What's it like to see a ghost
Both outlaws equal, yes indeed
A one shot rhythm to the gunsling
So long, my sweet (bye bye)
Standin' alone through the soot and stone
He draws from this holster, a man
Crawlin' alone through the soot and stone
He makes his way home half to death
He clenched his fist and said a prayer
For every breath of dusty air
He fires loud, awaiting host
What's it like to be a ghost
Both outlaws equal, yes indeed
A one shot rhythm to the gunsling
So long, my sweet
I hear those voices calling, take my life
I cannot take this lying down, no
Standin' alone through the soot and stone
He draws from this holster, a man
Crawlin' alone through the soot and stone
He makes his way home half to death
In time, in vain
I wash my hands of yesterday
If I should fall, if I should pass
It's worth one last stand before the gates of Hell
Before the gates of Hell
Before the gates of Hell
I hear those voices calling, take my life
I cannot take this lying down, no
Standin' alone through the soot and stone
He draws from this holster, a man
Crawlin' alone through the soot and stone
He makes his way home half to death
In time, in vain
I wash my hands of yesterday
If I should fall, if I should pass
It's worth one last stand before the gates of Hell
