2009-05-10 - on that day
the door squeaked on its hinges as the backlight filled the room
obscuring at the fringes of the figure which did loom
at the threshold of the entrance gat gun hanging at his side
he had come enacting vengeance on humanity and pride
he was tortured by the thought of injustice on the earth
he had travelled many a mile and bereft of all self-worth
except as bounty hunter to avenge the perfect law
not one was found here guiltless no not one was without flaw
he raised the gat gun slowly and prepared to take them out
but one rose from the lowly and stood up to say out loud
"I will stand in proxy for the ones you've come to shoot
I've got a perfect record and I've never robbed for loot
In fact it's for this reason (for this purpose I've been sent)"
so the stranger pulled the trigger until all his wrath was spent
the patrons at the pub all looked on and were surprised
the bloody massacre took place so fast before their eyes
the story became legend and the legend history
how the hero stood and fell so that they could all go free
some say this next part's added but still others say it's true
the hero got back up after all the mayhem flew
he walked up to the gunman and he put him on the floor
and dragged him off the premises as he went out the door
the light shined through the bullet holes riddled across his back
the last thing that they saw before the door creaked shut and cracked
ever since that time the sunlight shines in through the door
the crack there left behind casts a cross upon the floor
where the hero took the fall and got back up to put away
all the guilt and condemnation from the reaper on that day
