The Gunslinger's Creed Lyrics


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
