Once I had my heroes
 Once I had my dreams
 But all of that is changed now
 The truth begins again
 The truth is not that comfortable, no
 Mother taught us patience
 The virtues of restraint
 Father taught us boundaries
 The knowledge we must go
 I'm trying to protect my unity
 
That's when I reach for my revolver
 That's when it all gets blown away
 That's when I reach for my revolver
 The spirit passes by this way
 
A friend of mine once told me
 His one and only aim
 To build a giant castle
 And in it sign his name
 Sign it with complete community
 
That's when I reach for my revolver
 That's when it all gets blown away
 That's when I reach for my revolver
 The spirit passes by this way
 
Now that the sky is empty
 And that is nothing new
 Instead they look upon us
 When they tell me
 That we're nothing
 I say!
 
That's when I reach for my revolver
 That's when it all gets blown away
 That's when I reach for my revolver
 The spirit passes by this way
 
That's when I reach for my revolver
 That's when it all gets blown away
 That's when I reach for my revolver
 The spirit passes by this way
