Failed Redemption

Lyrics:
Dead Redemption
Deep down south in the land of Texas,
A man lies half dead.
Betrayed by his band of brothers,
True cowboys until the end.
His memory: a haunting nightmare,
vacant flashes of his men.
Pre Chorus:
He lies in bed dreaming of the night,
When revenge will have it’s flight,
But if only he could see,
That other mans misery!
Chorus:
Jaw muscles drawn tight in tension,
Sweating deep in apprehension,
What they’ve failed to mention...
It’s a dead... redemption.
The man who shot him, on the run,
The law says he’s justified.
But he betrayed his cowboy brother,
In his heart he can’t hide.
His Memory: a haunting reminder,
barrel flashed, he shot his man.
Pre Chorus:
Tossing, turning, screaming inside
He shot his own best friend.
Nightmares of ropes and hooded figures,
Will when this nightmare end?
Chorus:
Yea, Down in a land they call Texas,
Two men now lie dead,
One with a bullet from a brother,
One with a noose around his neck.
This memory: called outlaw justice,
Has left two good men dead.
Pre Chorus:
They lie in coffins on this night,
Revenge will never have a fight,
A story sealed in history,
of just how brutal this “west” can be.
Chorus:
No more jaws drawn in tension,
No more sweat in apprehension,
What History fails to mention,
.....
it’s another failed Redemption.
