lyrics
To kill a man first tie on a white target to his heart.
The blindfold should be drawn tight and his soul prepared for god.
The line of men across from him should number seven strong.
Five live rounds and two blank sounds will keep their souls from harm.
They said he was a killer.
They said he could be bought.
They said "How did such a dirty man get tied up in our lot?"
They say they'll all feel better
now his damned soul's off our land.
He stole from me. He'll steal from you. We'll take his falling sand.
To kill a man first tie on a white target to his heart.
The blindfold should be drawn tight and his soul prepared for god.
The line of men across from him should number seven strong.
Five live rounds and two blank sounds will keep their souls from harm.
I bet that he was angry.
I guess he felt alone.
I wonder if he grew up in an honest, loving home.
Well his sister cried the loudest
as she gazed up at the sky.
She hoped she would see him when they set him free to fly.
To kill a man first tie on a white target to his heart.
The blindfold should be drawn tight and his soul prepared for god.
Have his soul prepared for god.
Have his soul prepared for god
when you put a bullet in his heart.
When you put a bullet in his heart,
have his soul prepared for god.
God.
The blindfold should be drawn tight and his soul prepared for god.
The line of men across from him should number seven strong.
Five live rounds and two blank sounds will keep their souls from harm.
They said he was a killer.
They said he could be bought.
They said "How did such a dirty man get tied up in our lot?"
They say they'll all feel better
now his damned soul's off our land.
He stole from me. He'll steal from you. We'll take his falling sand.
To kill a man first tie on a white target to his heart.
The blindfold should be drawn tight and his soul prepared for god.
The line of men across from him should number seven strong.
Five live rounds and two blank sounds will keep their souls from harm.
I bet that he was angry.
I guess he felt alone.
I wonder if he grew up in an honest, loving home.
Well his sister cried the loudest
as she gazed up at the sky.
She hoped she would see him when they set him free to fly.
To kill a man first tie on a white target to his heart.
The blindfold should be drawn tight and his soul prepared for god.
Have his soul prepared for god.
Have his soul prepared for god
when you put a bullet in his heart.
When you put a bullet in his heart,
have his soul prepared for god.
God.
