When the Gun Goes - As We Ascend

The past comes back to haunt you

Scratching at the door

It’s grip is getting stronger

Much tighter than before

Your farewell’s on the table

The ink has barely dried

Is it really better?

When the gun goes

Boom!

When the gun goes

Boom!

Boom!

The tears are never ending

Devastation’s all we know

The tapestry’s unwinding

With every lie you told

You crushed the ones you let down

Betrayed the ones you love

Are you sure this is the answer?

When the gun goes

Boom!

When the gun goes

Boom!

Boom!

Sitting in the church now

With the preacher and the pews

We’re all growing old now

With memories in your tomb

Spoken from the lips

Of a ghost that lives within

There is hope and you are needed

Lay it down it’s not the end

When the gun goes

When the gun goes

When the gun goes

When the gun goes

Boom!

When the gun goes

Boom!

Boom!

Standing here with you now

With the preacher and your groom

You can grow old now

And the pain is finally through

Boom!

When the gun goes

Boom!

Boom!

When the gun goes
