GUNSLINGERby Matthew Sanders, James Sullivan, Brian Haner Jr. and Zachary Baker
Yeah, you've been alone
I've been gone for far too long
But with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you
Never let it show
The pain I've grown to know
'Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you
I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes
My heart's always with you now
I won't question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through yeah
'Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you

"Gunslinger" isn't actually a poem, but a song about a soldier away from home by the rock band Avenged Sevenfold. I love poetry, and I love music. I love the rhythm and word choice of both. When I purchase a new CD, I always look to see if the lyrics are posted. It's like reading poetry! I am going to see Avenged Sevenfold (with Buckcherry and Papa Roach) tonight, so I thought I'd post one of the songs I will hear (and sing along to) tonight.
Dance on over to Mommy's Favorite Children's Books for more poetry links!

The Gunslinger - also a book by Stephen King in The Dark Tower series ;-)
I love poetry, music and Stephen King!
I've hate it when CDs don't come with lyrics. Now the kids and I are always searching for song lyrics online.
have fun tonight! :0)

I thought it sounded like a song. I also thought there was gonna be a shootout. I'm kind of relieved.
Sounds like something by Cinderella.
Some emotions are best expressed in poetry and/or song. This one captures longing.
I agree. Many song writers blow me away with their prose.
I always enjoy your thoughts on poetry. I hope your concert was fun.
Hey, Kelly!

Starts so quiet and then . . . bam!!!
Thanks.
