lyrics

He came from the sun , across the desert heat
He comes from hell with snakes at his feet
He was bullet proof and black as night
Broken husband to a murdered wife
Called down the thunder, call down the rain
The storm is coming, a freight train
He was Cold as the clay, sharp as knife
Fast as the wind, blood in his eyes

The town was quiet it was midnight and blue
The piano played , whiskey tunes
The saloon was waiting , death was near
You cant kill a man who has no fear
He seemed taller now, he came in slow
Guns at his side and his hat hung low
he came for the gambler, the murdering theif
the greek gunslinger, tombstone pete

When the smoke clears , before the dust settles at you feet
Remember the fate of tombstone pete
Justice and vengeance are sometimes one in the same
When the black rider comes , hes crossing off your name

He drew his guns, with steady hands
He put a bullet between the eyes of the bearded man
And the coward , the sheriff , turned and dropped his gun,
the black rider shot him the back before he could run
the whores screamed, the bartender froze
the card tables turned, the thunder roared
tombstone pete took his last breath
the black rider shot him full of holes in his chest
