[Verse 1]
The stars seem to shoot across the sky like incendiary rounds
They mirror the ever burning flame that resides in my heart
If you keep the promise you made way back in the summer
I’ll be ready for- ready for- ready for- ready for dawn

[Bridge]
Ohh… Father set me free

[Verse 2]
If the sinners tried to take you, I’d sure take a bullet or two
I’ll keep pushing til we’re a pair or the day I fall
When that fateful day’s soon to come, hope you’ll stay for a while
I’ll be ready for- rеady for- ready for- ready for dawn

[Chorus]
Keep your rifle by your sidе (Hallelujah)
Keep your rifle by your side

[Interlude]
This Earth was made for us
The sinful life just ain’t enough
This Earth was made for us
The sinful life just ain’t enough

[Chorus]
Keep your rifle by your side (In Jesus name)
I’ll be ready for- ready for- ready for- ready for dawn
Ohh… By your side
I’ll be ready for- ready for- ready for- ready for dawn
[Outro]
If you keep the promise you made... back in the summer
I’ll be ready for- ready for- ready for- ready for dawn
