A hawkins rifle strapped to his saddle And two dragoons inside his vest His long black hair blew through midnight air Fighting revenge inside his chest He'd seen the housed burned down to ashes And seen those he loved lose that most dear The saints they cried, "someone save our lives!" The night the black angel appeared
Hey now porter, got an eye like an eagle Sworn to save the life of the prophet of the lamb Many men are lying under six feet of ground Fire from the smokin' gun of modern day sam Fire from the smokin' gun of modern day sam
The saint's moved on as the fire grew strong But some would never let them rest Crystal eyes moved through shadowed nights As he took the devils last breath Promises from a prophet's lips The prophecy preserved his fate But that june day his heart broke in vain God forbid he was too late
Destroying angel, troubled man I won't judge the blood on your hands...
Hey now porter, got an eye like an eagle Sworn to save the life of the prophet of the lamb Many men are lying under six feet of ground Fire from the smokin' gun of modern day sam Fire from the smokin' gun of modern day sam
