You've heard a lot of stories about the terrible legends of the Wild West,
Billy the Kid, the Dalton Brothers and Jesse James
Well, here's a song about the gunslinger who those bad boys have heard of
This is the story of Silas Greaves
There are men who fear legends But a man legends fear
He's the four-holstered reaper Cryin' bullets for tears
When a drought comes in Justice Bullets make good rain
When the heart ache has dried out Only blood heals the pain
There's a time for greavin' And a time to just pray
There's a time for forgivin' But it's not for today
You can hide sins from the gavel You can drown them in rum
When Silas Greaves find you, There's nowhere to run
And time goes too slowly For the gunslinger's eye
Till he's buried his promise There's no time to cry
There's a time for greavin' And a time to just pray
When Silas Greaves finds you It's the time you must pay
