Gunpowder Days

Oh the gavel strikes, in a cloud of smoke

And the verdict's read, I'm a redeemed soul

Seems I'm headed for a better place & time

No more hungry wolves, dressed as howling thieves

It matters who I hurt, matters who I leave

It was simple once, when there was only enemy fire

Gunpowder sky, gunpowder blaze

After the flash, only ashes remain

My gunpowder past is blowing away

I'm cutting the fuse, to those gunpowder days

So c'mon draw me out, kiss my neck

Help me plant white roses, bury all the lead

Give me all your shelter, when the wind begins to cry

And heaven keep me grounded, when I climb the walls

Soothe my suspicion, when the mercury falls

When the air is charged & the sparks begin to fly

Gunpowder sky, gunpowder blaze

After the flash, only ashes remain

My gunpowder past is blowing away

I'm cutting the fuse, to those gunpowder days

Gunpowder sky, gunpowder blaze

After the flash, only ashes remain

My gunpowder past is blowing away

I'm cutting the fuse, to those gunpowder days

Oh the gavel strikes, in a cloud of smoke

And the verdict's read, I'm a redeemed soul

I'm a redeemed soul, I'm a redeemed soul
