Girard - Smoke from a .45 Lyrics

Verse 1 (Man):
In the shadows where the lost souls lie,
I've been waiting for my moment, oh so long,
They took everything, left me here to cry,
But tonight, I'll right the wrongs, I'll be strong.

Chorus (Both):
Oh, the smoke from a .45, rising high,
As I stand on the edge of the night,
With a heart full of fire, I'll reclaim my pride,
In the silence, I'll find my light.

Verse 2 (Woman):
You said love was worth fighting for,
But they broke our dreams like glass on the floor,
Now you're out there with vengeance in your eyes,
Just know, my love, you're the one I'll always fight.

Chorus (Both):
Oh, the smoke from a .45, rising high,
As I stand on the edge of the night,
With a heart full of fire, I'll reclaim my pride,
In the silence, I'll find my light.

Bridge (Man):
With every shot that echoes through the dark,
I'll be the shadow that leaves its mark,
For every tear you shed, I'll bring the rain,
I'll carry your name, I'll break these chains.

Verse 3 (Woman):
But love, be careful, don't lose your way,
Revenge can blind you, make you stray,
Just remember the life we dreamed of, too,
Before the night swallowed us, we were true.

Chorus (Both):
Oh, the smoke from a .45, rising high,
As I stand on the edge of the night,
With a heart full of fire, I'll reclaim my pride,
In the silence, I'll find my light.

Verse 4 (Man):
I can hear their laughter ringing in my mind,
They think they're untouchable, but justice is blind,
With a heart full of anger and a steady hand,
I'll write our story, it's time to take a stand.

Chorus (Both):
Oh, the smoke from a .45, rising high,
As I stand on the edge of the night,
With a heart full of fire, I'll reclaim my pride,
In the silence, I'll find my light.

Bridge 2 (Woman):
Each shot you fire, each moment you chase,
Remember my love, it's not just a race,
We've got a life to build, dreams to ignite,
Let's not lose ourselves in this vengeful fight.

Verse 5 (Man):
But they don't know what's coming, I'm done being afraid,
With every breath I take, I'm ready to invade,
I'll confront my demons, let the bullets fly,
For the love we lost, I'll fight till I die.

Chorus (Both):
Oh, the smoke from a .45, rising high,
As I stand on the edge of the night,
With a heart full of fire, I'll reclaim my pride,
In the silence, I'll find my light.

Outro (Both):
So here's to the justice that I'll claim,
With the smoke from my .45, I'll stake my name,
I'll walk away, but I'll never forget,
The love we had, it's the only debt.
Oh, the smoke from a .45, rising high,
In the echoes of our love, I'll never die.
