Gunslinger

Gunslinger, hellspawn 
Thrived from Bane, a Western town 
He was a preacher in his prime 
To saving souls, he gave his time 

Condemned to death, but done no crime 
For, he was framed in gleam of dime 
A murderer, he was then called 
So, to the devil, his soul, he sold 

In  deathly rope, he died in pain 
But from the dead, he rose again
For, he must make some wrong things right 
So to his gun, he clung so tight 

In dark of night and light of day 
He's meant to venge, he's meant to slay 
With gun in hand, he shoots to kill 
Those fools who made his blood spill
