about

Based on the 1976 Spaghetti Western. The pursuit of justice with secrets emerging along the way..

lyrics

At the dawn of the New World
When the West was wild and overrun
Through the turmoil and struggle,
A tale like no other under the sun:
Here comes the legend of God’s Gun.

Them Clayton Boys were running wild,
They'd robbed a bank and rode all night,
At dawn hit Juno City,
No mercy, no pity was shown.

They hit Jenny's Saloon and soon,
A card fight broke out,
A knife was thrown to end a life.
Jessie ran and fled the scene,
The local priest then intervened
But was shot down and he hit the ground.

Young Johnny, being the altar boy,
Sought revenge and he knew how,
Headed south to find Lewis,
He knew he could get him on his side
Told Lewis how his brother died.

Now Lewis in a fit of rage,
Juno bound with Johnny's aid,
Knew a trick for the Claytons:
Mistaken, they'd think they'd seen a ghost
And so in robes, the Clayton Boys
Were Scared at the Sight.
The priest had come to take their lives,
One by one were taken down,
the dust ran red, no mercy shown,
were taken down, down below.

But rumours about some unknown son,
spread through Juno's walks and turns,
It was Clayton and Jenny,
"They'd spent one night
together long ago?"
Poor Johnny, he had never known.

So to the Desert Clayton fled,
With Lewis chasing til the grave.
By the ruins of a church Tower,
a shot fired struck Clayton to the dust,
and almost lost, a name was heard saying
"Johnny, my son, I've done much, I've done wrong,
Just remember my son,
No outlaw can outrun
God's Gun
