Lyrics:

He lifted his finger
and pressed to her lips
as he bled himself onto the ground
it was him it was her
and the man with the gun
and nobody else was around
when he finally found strength
to tell her he loved her
he laid down his head relieved
of all of the times
he had spoken those words
it was the first time she ever believed

The man with the gun
had walked in from her past
the first she had loved of men
and after the bloom
of her first love had died
she never had trusted again
but the man with the gun
was now walking away
and he knew that he killed something pure
he left a good man
to die on the ground
because the bullets were meant for her

She thought of the fights
and him always asking
what is it that I have to do
as he lay in the dirt
just fading away
the answer she finally knew
but there wasn't a single
ounce of regret
when he looked at her once and for all
it's better to die
for someone you love
than dying for nothing at all

"Incredible."

The solos were amazing, loved them, the lyrics also were superb, but the singing, although you're a shining beacon compared to other artists here, maybe was a little weaker than normal, but as usual, you get my download :D

"Nice voice"

date: August 4, 2008

I really like this song, it had some very well thought out lyrics accompanied by a catchy assomble of instruments. The only problem was that the drums in some parts felt a little empowering this mainly noticable in between verses.
