Lyrics:

Silence

In the steps of no-man's land

Camp fire, the smell of prarie wind

Men surround the blaze

Drink booze recall the day

Til a strangers voice rings out to pray the sin



'The man who pulls his gun'd be dead

before he moves the trigger'

Scared to death no one dared to breathe

Billy took their money

Burst into ringing laughter

Stole a horse and left the shattered scene



Billy the kid, beast of prey that won't be tamed

Billy the kid, loved the thrill of deadly games



Wanted

For the men he'd killed in vain

A thousand dollars cash on Billy's head

Hunted by a star

For the lives he'd left in pain

And the day they met the outlaw lost the game



The marshal held his gun

Aimed at Billy's head with laughter

But the youngster was to proud for given' in

Billy felt no pain

But he was shot, the law was faster

Falling to his knees he hit the trail



Billy the kid, beast of prey that won't be tamed

Billy the kid, loved the thrill of deadly games

Billy the kid, a youngster and hie deadly gun

Billy the kid, a lonely hero on the run



The killing and the blood for golden dreams

A senseless war

An endless fight the youngster couldn't win

A hundred times before he'd died

He knocked on heaven's door

Til his maker opened up to lead him in.
