[Speaking: M. Shadows]
It don't really matter if you agree with the war or not because if you didn't agree with the war they'd still be over there fighting because that's what good soldiers do
So this next song I wanna send out to all the men and women in uniform that are protecting this country, protecting our rights, this one's called Gunslinger, it goes out to all of them, we pray that they come home safely

[Verse 1]
Yeah, you've been alone
I've been gone for far too long
But with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you
Never let it show
The pain I've grown to know
'Cause with all these things we do
After all this time I'm coming home

[Chorus]
I reach towards the sky, I've said my goodbyes
My heart's always with you now
I won't question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through yeah
'Cause with all these things we do
After all this time I'm coming home to you

[Verse 2]
Letters keep me warm
Helped me through the storm
But with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home
[Chorus]
I reach towards the sky, I've said my goodbyes
My heart's always with you now
I won't question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through yeah
'Cause with all these things we do
After all this time I'm coming home to you

[Verse 3]
I've always been true
I've waited so long just to come hold you
I'm making it through, it's been far too long
We've proven our love over time, it's so strong
In all that we do
The stars in the night, they lend me their light
To bring me closer to heaven with you

[Bridge]
(Bring me closer)
'Cause with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home

[Chorus]
I reach towards the sky, I've said my goodbyes
My heart's always with you now
I won't question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through yeah
'Cause with all these things we do
After all this time I'm coming home
[Outro]
And with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you
