Old Man West (Dark Tower’s Gunslinger)

[Verse 1]
Lost and all alone
in this dried up wasteland
Following a man for reasons
in which you don’t understand
Anger from your past
as if ghosts were around
Pulling your guns
knockin’ ‘em to the ground
Found a young boy
in which his story’s not told
Bringing him along
trying to make him bold
The boy fell into a pit
held on as long as he could
Says to go on now
for there are better worlds

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s hard times now
in their futuristic mind
Workin’ harder now
for this methodical time

[Chorus]
The gunslingin’ man (The gunslingin’ man)
The gunslingin’ man (The gunslingin’ man)
On a quest, for the end
This wanderin’ man (This wanderin’ man)
This wanderin’ man (This wanderin’ man)
Only tryin’, to make this world mend

[Verse 2]
There was an Oracle
on the mount
Too many trials
so many to count 
The Man in Black
prophesying my very quest
Laying down now
for a ten year rest
This man in my dreams
testing my abilities 
I don’t break
come back to reality
Too weak to get up
fallen by the sea
At the beginning of the end
but how can that be

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s hard times now
in their futuristic mind
Workin’ harder now
for this methodical time

[Chorus]
The gunslingin’ man (The gunslingin’ man)
The gunslingin’ man (The gunslingin’ man)
On a quest, for the end
This wanderin’ man (This wanderin’ man)
This wanderin’ man (This wanderin’ man)
Only tryin’, to make this world mend

[Guitar Solo Interlude]

[Hook]
It’s hard times now
in their futuristic mind
Workin’ harder now
for this methodical time

[Chorus]
The gunslingin’ man (The gunslingin’ man)
The gunslingin’ man (The gunslingin’ man)
On a quest, for the end
This wanderin’ man (This wanderin’ man)
This wanderin’ man (This wanderin’ man)
Only tryin’, to make this world mend
