Born to face the dark alone By his father's guns he'll right the wrong Following the man in black Through the desert, to the tower and back Nobody can stop a gun Words or looks never killed someone Nobody can stop a gun It's death; the final weapon He's the son of the gun He's the son of the gun Just the song of the gun He's the son of the gun Cold as steel and twice as hard Measuring his manhood by the yard Love and dying are his life Wears his father's iron by his side Nobody ever stopped the gun Some tried now their days are done Nobody ever stopped the gun It's said like father, just like son (repeat chorus) He's the last of days before Winning every battle, lost the war Three remain from the world of old As he walks the prophecy unfolds Nobody ever stopped his guns They do their work and the bodies thump Nobody ever stopped his guns They spill some blood and the world moved on (repeat chorus)
