The Bitter End

I rode through the valley where the lost souls lie

A past full of ghosts, a gun by my side

They left me for dead, carved my name in stone

But a man like me don't die alone

One by one, they'll pay in blood

Dust don't settle till it turns to mud

No prayers, no savior, no way to repent

This road only ends where the bullets are spent

I ain't ridin' for mercy, I ain't ridin' for grace

I'm ridin' for vengeance, I'm settin' the pace

No last words, no chance to defend

I'll see you all at the bitter end

They took my land, they burned my past

Left me in the dark, but I learned real fast

A loaded gun and a whiskey grin

Now they'll know how the reaper grins

Sheriff's got a price on my head

But dead men don't spend what they ain't got left

Ten men standin', ten men fall

Ain't no judge when I make the call

I ain't ridin' for mercy, I ain't ridin' for grace

I'm ridin' for vengeance, I'm settin' the pace

No last words, no chance to defend

I'll see you all at the bitter end

Ain't no grave that can hold me down

High noon's callin', shadows stretch long

One last fight, one last song

The devil's grinnin', I hear him say,

They ain't walkin' out, but you ain't neither today

I ain't ridin' for mercy, I ain't ridin' for grace

I'm ridin' for vengeance, I'm settin' the pace

No last words, no chance to defend

I'll see you all at the bitter end
