Prayer For The Gun - Solo

On the horizon of desert sand

Surrounded by devout naked land

We drove out early before the dawn

Waited silent for things to come

And what followed looked like the sun

Was a prayer for the gun

Before the earth moved there was the sound

Dark billows rose over holy ground

I was tempted to look right in

Where He could withstand I pledged to sin

And what followed looked like the sun

Was praying for a gun

As the spirit sent him out to do what he has done shouting kingdom come!

I fell down upon my knees to meet my maker with a plea to make it all undone

And what followed looked like the sun

Was praying for a gun
