Savior

from Shine by Justin Roth

lyrics

tuning: BGDGCC
(full capo 1st fret, drop-D capo 3rd fret, shortcut capo 5th fret)

I need to get my gun
Put all my faith in my truest one
Just one savior to guide one bullet
To make one last regret

I will go to the stable alone
No one will know where I have gone
I will deliver the one who has fought
This cold winter can't silence the shot

A savior…

I can't say I didn't know that this day would come
I knew it from the very start all along
For when one succumbs to such a mad disease
I must take its life immediately

A savior…

Now I must put away this gun
And tell them what I have done
They will cry and they will weep
And learn that life sometimes ain't easy

Maybe someday they will understand
And have to take a life by their own hands

A savior…

I can't say I didn't know that this day would come
I knew it from the very start since the day they were born
Hard lessons learned, hard lessons taught
Some you forget, some you cannot

A savior…
