and there he goes
he walks and slows
his breathing down
the inner circle is at stake
it’s time to lead for him to make
more money in this town
and there he runs
he shoots with guns
until they fall
when noon is past the children cry
he will live on until they die
behind this iron wall
and there he hides
he sets his sights
on whom he doesn’t know
the night sinks in another time
the day will throw its light on ruthless crime
and there he earned himself another foe
and there he goes
no mercy shows
the silent stranger
but mugshots from a thousand years
make sure to dry away the tears
of those who are in danger
and there he tells
this money sells
a hero for my soul.
