Dead South, The - Gunslinger's Glory Lyrics






Creep and crawl until you fall into that old dark room
Where you left your sins and all of your friends
Staring back the old man's lies as he watched you drown
You get up and you just splash around

Never really knowing why, they won't understand
As you hang from the tree with that look of despair
Pulling out your guns and blast another round
Oh, one of these days you got your, you got your crown

I want to be the very best
Best there ever is
The quickest draw
The toughest motherfucker in these lands
I want to be the very best
Best there ever is
The quickest draw
The toughest motherfucker in these... lands

Going around every day as I shoot away
Taking 'em on down to their knees to pray
Make my way up to the top, as I knew I would
Being a gunslinger is a glory and goddamn, goddamn it's good

I want to be the very best
Best there ever is
The quickest draw
The toughest motherfucker in these lands
I want to be the very best
Best there ever is
The quickest draw
The toughest motherfucker in these... lands

Well I got my wish, I was the best
The only problem is
I'm laying on the cold cement
With a bullet... in my head
In my head
In my head
Now I'm dead

    I actually stumbled upon The Dead South by accident but I am so glad I did. I love their music especially this song. The ballad of a gunslinger awesome yet tragic and haunting. I love and have always loved bluegrass/country and spaghetti westerns. So this song really speaks to me.

    A few of the members are metal heads themselves.

    G.... G....

    G.... G....

    @GGS...i literally just experienced the same phenomenon...and after maybe a dozen songs played, this one is by far my current favorite...found myself swaying to it!

  46. M.... M....

    Kto tak głośno wczoraj płakał,
    słychać go było w niebiosach,
    i słychać go było w sieci,
    Ten ,którego Bóg uzdrowił,
    Ten, z którym nie mogłam mieć dzieci.
    Tak strasznie płakał,że życie mu zabrano i zabrano mu nasze, Bogiem A naznaczone dzieci
    Ja też płacze,że życie mam ustawione i nie mogłam wybrać ,
    nie mogłam wybrać z kim chcę mieć dzieci
    nie mogłam wybrać swoich ukochanych
    nawet koleżanek mieć nie mogłam.
    Tylko same takie są drętwe ,co mrówek nie widzą
    dlatego ciągle milczałam
    całe życie milczałam
    mówiłam nie mam przyjaciół, bo ci których znam, to mrówek nie widzą i nie i widzą jakie są piękne biedronki i stonogi
    Jak jest struktura jaj muchy i po co one tam siedzą
    tego moje koleżanki nie wiedzą ,
    dlatego całe życie milczałam

    i nie ma o czym z nimi rozmawiać, więc milczę
    milczę i milczę, zwłaszcza o muchach milczę...
    bo one widza jakie fajne są larwy muchy, jak pracują,żeby świat istniał
    i tego nie wiedzą, że dzięki muchom świat jest czysty
    dzięki muchom świat jest czysty
    i to jest przez Boga A nadane
    Geniusza
    muchy są po to jeszcze....
    ja naprawdę nie mam o czym z nimi rozmawiać....
    Całe życie mi ubliżały: filozof, albo ta jak coś powie, ambona, albo trybuna
    takie mnie otaczają koleżanki, co nic o muchach nie wiedzą,
    dlatego za nimi nie tęsknię...gdybym mogła z nimi porozmawiać o muchach... to bym tęskniła a tak to po co za nimi tęsknić, no po co ?

    I płakałby wczoraj Kornel Morawiecki,
    bo nawet po śmierci niszczą jego wizerunek
    i fałszywe zdjęcia umieszczają w gazetach
    te,co na muchach się nie znają, fałszywe umieszczają zdjęcia
    by nic już po nim nie zostało,
    te,co na muchach się nie znają nim zawłaszczają
    nie mogę tego znieść !
    Nie mogę!
    Te , co na muchach się nie znają!
    by nam w pamięci nie został chłopiec
    co z strukturę świata z uwielbieniem poznaje,
    Radośnie się śmieje ,
    jak on się śmieje!się, bo wszystko gra , nawet na poziomie molekuły
    „Ty byś pierogi lepiła albo coś wyczyść” - mówią do mnie
    te co wizerunkiem Kornela zawłaszczają
    jego osobą
    moim kolegą z Solidarności
    moim kolegą

    I Korbicz by płakał nad ranem, gdyby miał uczucia ,Józef
    płakał by
    że nie mógł mieć dzieci z kobieta , tak naprawdę przez siebie wybraną
    a co się z Twoim Korbicz stanie ciałem po śmierci,co się stanie z Twoim wizerunkiem
    wizerunkiem przez Boga A naznaczonym, wizerunkiem geniusza
    co się stanie ?
    Co zrobią ,te co na muchach się nie znają,
    by drętwy ryt został
    ryt istoty i by nikt nie pamiętał,
    że jesteś męczennikiem i że nie mogłeś mieć dzieci
    z ta naprawdę przez siebie wybraną..
    I czy to będą takie same ,które Pamięć zatarły o Marii matce Jezusa
    i Pamięć o Innych Bogach
    czy po tobie samo kłamstwo zostanie
    Jak nic zostało po Marii Matce Jezusa, którą otruto
    i której ciało po śmierci profanowano agresją
    żeby po niej nic nie zostało
    że jest Bogiem
    Maria Jest Bogiem
    i co mi możecie zrobić
    to n ie jest marysieńka
    Maria Bogiem się stała
    Maria była uczona
    Maria była trybunem, jak ja, dla pokrzywdzonych
    Maria jest Bogiem
    Maria Bogiem

    czemu magowie teraz płaczą
    tak strasznie płaczą
    w nocy i nad ranem
    że nie mogli mieć dzieci z kobietą, przez siebie wybraną,
    ale mieli z kobietą podesłaną
    płaczą i płaczą ,że życie im zabrano...
    Płaczą też Bogowie ,że wizerunek im zabrano,
    Bóg Odyn płacze,
    i Bóg Jezus płacze
    i Bóg Budda
    płacze Bóg Aro i Oro i Bóg Pan,
    i Inni Bogowie też płaczą, ale imion ich nie znam
    Pamięć o nich zatarto, ci co na muchach się nie znają,
    Bóg stał się posagiem martwym
    n a wizerunek każdego larwy nałożono a potem jeszcze raz larwy,
    potem przykryli go betonem
    betonem
    (jak teraz Morawieckiemu robią )

    i to zostawiają, twardy beton
    tylko kwiatki położą
    i nikt nie powie, jak mam Bogów można pocieszyć, jak przytulić , jak pocieszyć Bogów
    Jaka pocieszyć Bogów
    I nikt mi nie powie,
    Jak pocieszyć magów, jak pocieszyć magów i jak pocieszyć Bogów..

    Geez! This is infectious! These guys are absolutely awesome and talented! I get why they are not on mainstream radio but it just goes to show there is so much great and awesome talent out there that we don't ever hear unless you go and search for it. That is the great thing about the internet and why I never listen to the radio. I found these guys a few weeks ago trying to look for another bluegrass song that I had heard. The Dead South, In Hell I'll be in good company popped up. I never found the original song I was looking for but I am good with the trade off. This is way awesome!!!

  53. L.... F....

    I wish you guys would come to Maine!

  54. G.... ....

    Well I got my wish, I was the best
    The only problem is

    Now I'm dead

  65. R.... M....

    My favorite song by ya.

  66. A.... H....

    Here are the lyrics

    Creep and crawl until you fall into that old dark room
    Where you left your sins and all of your friends
    Staring back the old man's lies as he watched you drown
    You get up and you just splash around

    Never really knowing why, they won't understand
    As you hang from the tree with that look of despair
    Pulling out your guns and blast another round
    Oh, one of these days you got your, you got your crown

    I want to be the very best
    Best there ever is
    The quickest draw
    The toughest motherfucker in these lands
    I want to be the very best
    Best there ever is
    The quickest draw
    The toughest motherfucker in these... lands

    Going around every day as I shoot away
    Taking 'em on down to their knees to pray
    Make my way up to the top, as I knew I would
    Being a gunslinger is a glory and goddamn, goddamn it's good

    I want to be the very best
    Best there ever is
    The quickest draw
    The toughest motherfucker in these lands
    I want to be the very best
    Best there ever is
    The quickest draw
    The toughest motherfucker in these... lands

    Well I got my wish, I was the best

    the greatest trick a rich man ever pulled was making poor folks think he was on their side

    M.... X....

    * STAR * So the democrats are all working class ? , get real fool .

    M.... X....

    @Otto Sump : I did NOT say " the democrats are all working class ". YOU said THAT . Also, THAT is NOT what I meant . Only a FOOL would think that THAT'S what I meant .

    In the immortal words of Carl Jung : If one does not understand a person, one tends to regard him as a fool .

    Regardless of what you think I meant, it's a fact that Trump ( the biggest fucking fool of all ) did indeed fool / trick all the blue~collar workers in the Rust Belt AND anyone else ( rich or poor ) who voted for him .

    M.... X....

    * STAR * How has he fooled anyone ? , most seem quite happy with their votes , as he's better than any opposition.

    M.... X....

    @Otto Sump : IF you don't know by now how Trump has tricked people, then you'll never know . By the way, only FOOLS are happy with their Trump votes . Better than any opposition ? Come on, man ! Every Democratic candidate in the running is better than Trump ! Trump is a con man AND a moron ! I strongly suggest you watch The Daily Show with Trevor Noah . Trevor Noah will set you straight !

    M.... X....

    * STAR * Fuck Trevor Noah, if that's where you get your information from then I feel bad for you , Trump will win in 2020 ,that is for sure , have a nice day .
