lyrics

The Gunslinger's Creed
music: Martin Schnella
lyrics & vocal melodies: Melanie Mau, Martin Schnella

I. Roland's Revenge

Jake has a bad feeling
While he's opening the front door
Lon is lying on the floor
His worst fears come true
His mother is also dead
Only ashes are left behind
He breaks down in tears
His whole world is falling apart
A message on the wall
Walter was there

Roland: I will kill him for both of us!

Jake: What about the tower?
My mum died, so you could have your revenge?
You know the seer was right
You've lost your faith!
You're not a Gunslinger, anymore!
We shall go our separate ways!

Roland: When I was younger, I would recite the Gunslingers Creed
It calms the heart and the mind
I haven't spoken it in years
Your shine is your weapon and guns are mine
Let's speak these old words

Creed: I do not aim with my hand
He who aims with his hand - has forgotten the face of his father
I aim with my eye
I do not shoot with my hand
He who shoots with his hand - has forgotten the face of his father
I shoot with my mind
I do not kill with my gun
He who kills with his gun - has forgotten the face of his father
I kill with my heart

Just a thoughtless moment
Walter takes his chance
The Fake-Skins kidnap Jake

II. The Sorcerer – Reign Of Darkness

Walter: Gunslinger, did you miss me?
I guess you did!
First you want to save the tower
Then kill the Man In Black
You're like a dog fetching a stick over and over
You tell the kid that everyone that walks with you dies by my hand?
Your soft skinned mother?
Your Gunslinger friends?
Your whimpering excuse for a dad?
Haha!
We both know that no matter who crosses the finish line
The universe will die eventually
Death always wins – that's the deal

All hail the crimson king
The world is in his hands
The reign of darkness will begin

Jake: Roland, they are taking me to that place
Be careful
I will show you the portal code you need
And use my shine to keep it open

All hail the crimson king
The world is in his hands
The reign of darkness will begin

Roland: Hang on, I'm coming for you
Everywhere he flees, I will follow
And save the tower
That's what I'm fighting for

All hail the crimson king
The world is in his hands
The reign of darkness will begin

III. The Secret Place Of No Return

Walter: All righty, let's go
Put everyone out of their misery, shall we?
Have a great apocalypse!
And let's go Jake!
Why are you fighting back?
Why do you resist?
Your visions didn't bring you to him
They brought you to me
He doesn't love you
Doesn't care for you
In fact he's been using you
This entire time to get me
This is why you're here
This is your destiny
Roland, you wanted me to face you?
Here I am old friend

Both arch-enemies
Are fighting one another
Roland gets wounded by the magic of the Sorcerer
With his pure shine
Jake reminds Roland of the Credo
And helps him to recover

In the end the Gunslinger kills the Man In Black with a trick shot
And destroys the machine,
Saves Jake and the other children
The red sky turns into blue
Warm and bright the sun is shining
As of today and for all time
The tower stands at the center of the universe
Protecting us from darkness

IV. Our Savior

See the Man In Black
Fled across the desert
The boy with that pure shine
And the Gunslinger followed

Jake with that pure shine
He will be our savior
Roland of Gilead
Saved the Dark Tower

He's the Man In Black
And he fled across the desert
Jake with that pure shine
And Roland of Gilead followed
The boy with that pure shine
Will he be our savior
And the Gunslinger saved the Dark Tower
