Rusted Gold

I was once the broken one You branded my very soul I was crawling through the desert While your forces took control Outside of Durango I dug a shallow grave I buried my Leviathan while sharpening my blade The mark of Cain upon me for I didn't show respect A gentleman in glasses with a rope around his neck Unbound, unbroken Like rusted gold The vow is unspoken, the legends never told Your treasure is a censure as it weighs against your soul Still rising and shining like rusted gold I ride upon the precipice I sleep beneath the stars The lawman or the nemesis You'll never break this cowboy's heart When the fuse is running out You're tied upon the tracks Hounds are hot upon your trail That's when I'm coming back That's when you need a sinner man With soul as black as sin They said I was beyond reprieve But now I'm back to fight, fight, fight and win Unbound, unbroken Like rusted gold The vow is unspoken, the legends never told The man in black is fighting to release the stranglehold I rise from the ashes like rusted gold You'll never need to ask me You'll never need to pay I'm a coffin ship survivor I'm manacled to fate When they come to write the history I'm never seen or heard Vengeance is my calling card Bullets spelling out these words Unbound, unbroken Like rusted gold The vow is unspoken, the legends never told You'll say you were a witness to the man who broke the mold Still rising and shining like rusted gold
