Lyric discussion by SuperEricksen 

Cover art for Gunslinger lyrics by Avenged Sevenfold

I think the meaning of the song is about being away at war and the man misses his loved one(s) and how he has to live through horrifying images of the men he fought with have been killed.

A really great song. Needs to become a music video some day.
