Forgiveness is a Six Gun Lyrics
Thirty third degree, on the corner of Quit Street and Temptation Avenue
On the road to redemption, outside of heaven
Pride can be dangerous and you knew
Method of execution, length of duration
At what cost?
Forgiveness is a six gun, teach me how to shoot
The truth is like a moving target, forgiveness is a six gun
The streets from the start, have been filled with doubt
And they are set free, you needed someone to carry you
Fighting and counting the days, the error of your ways
Methods of execution, length of duration, at what cost?
Forgiveness is a six gun, teach me how to shoot
The truth is like a moving target, forgiveness is a six gun
In cold blood, dressed in black
Tombstones and tumbleweeds
Left the dead behind, watched em falling
Let Smith and Wesson do the motherfucking talking
Dust in my eyes, dust in the street, shotguns and broken dreams
Now we left the dead behind, watched em falling
Let the Smith and Wesson do the motherfucking talking
Now!
Forgiveness is a six gun, teach me how to shoot
The truth is like a moving target, forgiveness is a six gun
There is no forgiveness
There is no forgiveness
There is no forgiveness
There is no forgiveness
On the road to redemption, outside of heaven
Pride can be dangerous and you knew
Method of execution, length of duration
At what cost?
The truth is like a moving target, forgiveness is a six gun
And they are set free, you needed someone to carry you
Fighting and counting the days, the error of your ways
Methods of execution, length of duration, at what cost?
The truth is like a moving target, forgiveness is a six gun
Tombstones and tumbleweeds
Left the dead behind, watched em falling
Let Smith and Wesson do the motherfucking talking
Now we left the dead behind, watched em falling
Let the Smith and Wesson do the motherfucking talking
The truth is like a moving target, forgiveness is a six gun
There is no forgiveness
There is no forgiveness
There is no forgiveness
There is no forgiveness

according to the DVD that comes with the special edition of the album this song was inspired by the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. one of the members has a tattoo of the main character Roland up his arm.
badass new song. i knew devildriver was conservative from the first time i saw them. Dez is a good guy and a fmaily man and smart which is why he is a conservative. that is how i knew he was.
the song is talking about how if obama pulls outta iraq then all our soliders wud have died for nothing and that we freed iraq and need to help them but the liberals dont care. yes i know obama is putting a few troops in the middle east still, but he did promise to pull them all out.
"The streets from the start have been filled with doubt And they are set free, you needed someone to carry you"
dez also says "At what cost?" many times, refering to iraq and how if we pull out, and lose, everything would be for nothing. the deaths, money etc.
Dez also likes guns when he refers to smith and wesson and many other guns showing he is abadass conservative, not a pussy liberal. if any liberal wants to debate, then be ready to lose.
To each their own opinion.Dez quoted in Revolver Magazine that Forgiveness is a six gun" is about forgiveness. He explains that we as human beings find forgiveness hard for us to do. He also explains that the Chorus "Forgiveness is a six gun, teach me how to shoot, The truth is like a moving target, forgiveness is a six gun" is he wants to learn how to forgive. Besides that its a great song non the less.

i agree with synisterrocker. just like few people have the ability to forgive, few people can shoot a six gun, thats the connection

I've seen some other comments by this caucasianthunda, they're all the same thing and they're all wrong, in their context. Dez is not a conservative, he says he voted for Obama... http://legacy.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=125606 He sees what he wants to see...which makes him delusional.

that is soooooooooooooooooo off base first of all dez voted obama second in the dvd for this he talks about smoking weed at one moment while watching people surf third it also states that it has to do with the gunslinger if you ever read the book it'd make sense to you that the gunslinger always leaves everything behind in his ques at one point he let a child who he loves like a son fall to his death "left the dead behind watch them falling" also the ending of the book implies that unless the protagonist learns to forgive...
