Lyrics
Here it is again this bleak horizon.
These two riders moving on, moving on in.
I can see them, dismounting they draw their guns
Backs against, backs against the sun
It has begun, it has begun.
Chorus:
It's a showdown in an old ghost town.
Verse 2:
As my eyes focus time stretches out, stretches long.
Each man trembling in the brilliant sun, yeah
I blink my eyes as the 'CRACK' hits my eardrums
And I can see these silhouettes have fallen
The deed is done
The deed is done.
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3:
The minutes pass, this day is now complete.
One man stirs, sits up, and gets to his feet.
He's stooped in pain, the bullet's passed through his right side
And now he's only half a man clinging to the lie
That he has won
That he has won
The deed is done.
