The Gunslinger Lyrics

I await the solders
who come to take my life
they come to take my life
your eyes I'll always remember
your eyes I'll always remember
tonight we go down as lovers
tonight we go down as lovers
tonight
we go down
as lovers
my God my God
protect me
my God my God
protect me
I killed those men
to protect you my love
I only did this for you
so kiss the one
you love good night
for I am
your gunslinger
my heart breaks
from this scene
give me your hand
together we will be
my heart breaks
from this scene
give me your hand
together we will be
for I am the gunslinger
I am the murderer
I am the gunslinger
I am the murderer
I am the...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
