Some will lose their nerve tonight 
Others lose their lives 
A flash of fire in the fight 
A cold look in my eyes 
Passing judgement in the street 
Where justice is revealed 
I deal with darkness ruthlessly 
I love the way it feels 

Hear the roaring of the gun 
Dead before the fear 
Gunsmoke on the setting sun 
You know the end is near 

There's a shadow on my life 
That's colder than the night 
A chilling silence in the air 
To fuel this dream of light 
Dancing madly from the bar room 
Where whiskey blinds my eyes 
Lady luck is lonely now 
Her streak has been denied 

Hear the roaring of the gun 
Dead before the fear 
Gunsmoke on the setting sun 
You know the end is near 

I can hear the painful cry 
That lets me know you're there 
You're tryin' hard to stop me 
When you know I just don't care 
Another moment on your own 
A life shot full of holes 
I like how music pulls you in 
To calm your restless soul 

Hear the roaring of the gun 
Dead before the fear 
Gunsmoke on the setting sun 
You know the end is near 
Know the end is near
