Avalon be damned, venture foreign lands
I laid my sword in the sand
I've made my peace with man
They lay a violent feast
As far as my eyes can see
I seek a Golden Fleece
One day you'll make your peace

So, don't tempt my hand, I'm just a man
A deadly scene, a weathered bein'
Men must cry where soldiers lie on threatened land

My guns go bang
I can make the guns go bang
I make all the guns go bang
I can make the guns go bang
I make all the guns go bang

Dot seventeen with the switch, it'll change you
Mama always said you was an angel
Papa got ghost, but these doors he never came through
He got ghost, but those walls he never came through
Stain glass windows on the church, I hope they stain proof
'Cause when the tides change, I'm tryna stain you (woo)
Plottin' for revenge, dig your grave too
Whatever you want engraved
What your tombstone gon' say too
Crosses on the head of an angel
Sins of the father, darken the doorstep
I became you, faithful to the end, woo, uh
Bullets with your names drew
Cock back, aim, shoot, bang

Forever tries the fool
There's nothin' no one can do
Just holdin' on when they lose
I makin' red of the blues
I dilate the stream
Flyin', livin' the dream
Nothin' is quite what it seems
I'm in a sky mezzanine

Oh, don't tempt my hand, I'm just a man
A deadly scene, a weathered bein'
Men must cry where soldiers lie on threatened land

My guns go bang
I can make the guns go bang
I make all the guns go bang
I can make the guns go bang
I make all the guns go bang

Nigga come alive when the guns go
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Get 'em high like the guns go (get 'em, get 'em)
A nigga come alive when the guns go
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Get 'em high like the guns go
(Get 'em, get 'em, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Give, get 'em like the guns go (c'mon, c'mon, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Aim 'em high, let the guns go (woo, woo)
Uh-ah, let the guns go (woo, woo)
Aim 'em high like the guns go

Fragile life, a reflection of the past we leave behind
For sake of something new
Fractured smile, open windows to the wounds we try to hide
Engraved in shadowed rooms
Bird in flight, bird in flight
