[Intro]
Standin’ alone in the soot and stone
He draws from his holster, a man
Crawlin’ alone through the soot and stone
He makes his way home half to death
In time, and in vain
I wash my hands of yesterday
And if I should fall, if I should pass
It's worth one last stand
Before the gates…
Before the gates of hell
Crawlin’ alone in the soot and stone
He makes his way home half to death
Standin’ alone in the soot and stone
He draws from his holster, A MAN

[Verse 1]
When sun sets dusk and streets are cleared
Well this town's renegade is near
Out standing tall, awaiting host
What's it like to see a ghost?
Both outlaws equal, yes indeed
One shot rhythm to the gunsling
So long my sweet (Bye, Bye)

[Chorus]
Standin’ alone through the soot and stone
He draws from his holster, a man
Crawling alone through the soot and stone
He makes his way home half to death
[Verse 2]
He clenched his fists and said a prayer
For every breath of dusty air
He fires loud, waiting heroes
What's it like to be a ghost?
Both outlaws equal, yes indeed
One shot rhythm to the gunsling
So long my sweet

[Lift]
I HEAR THOSE VOICES SHOUTING
"TAKE MY LIFE"
I CANNOT TAKE MINE LYING DOWN
NO

[Chorus]
Standin’ alone in soot and stone
He draws from his holster, a man
Crawling alone through the soot and stone
He makes his way home half to death

[Rest]
In time (In time)
In vain (In vain)
I wash my hands of yesterday
If I should fall (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
[Lift]
I HEAR THOSE VOICES SHOUTING
"TAKE MY LIFE"
I CANNOT TAKE MINE LYING DOWN
NO

[Chorus]
Standin' alone through the soot and stone
He draws from his holster, a man
Crawlin' alone through the soot and stone
He makes his way home half to death

[Outro]
In time (In time)
In vain (In vain)
I wash my hands of yesterday
If I should fall (If I should fall)
If I should pass
It's worth one last stand
BEFORE THE GATES OF HELL
NO
