Ballad of the Revenant Man Lyrics

Revenant man crossing forsaken land

He had one thing left to prove

With the copper Colt pistol hanging on his hip

Of which he knew every groove

The wanderer out of fright made a bet for his life

He said I've got a wager for you

He said I know a man in a far off land

That no living soul can kill

He lives up high on a seat atop the sky

I bet you can't kill the man in the moon

Revenant man with silver in his eyes

Oh I never thought I'd ever see a dead man climb so high

Well on the highest mountain

Copper pistol in hand and drenched in diamond hue

He fired six shots at that cold glowing light

And split the air in two

He left six holes in that ancient moon

But it was still standing true

It went all night til the moon left his sight

With no more rounds to shoot

And from that mountaintop alone in the black

He fell down to his doom

Revenant man with silver in his eyes

Oh I never thought I'd ever see a dead man climb so high

Revenant man with silver in his eyes

Oh I never thought I'd ever see a man fall from so high
