about

"This track was supposed to be in a kind of cowboy-ish theme. The beginning was gravely influenced by "Ghost In The Mirror" by "Memphis May Fire". It is by far my personal favorite (as well as Christian's). I think I can speak for every member of the band that we just love the concept of slow and simple chorus being in contrast to fast and heavy verses.

Lyrical Meaning:
The cowboy theme was actually inspired by the music. As I wrote the lyrics I didn't have the intention of making it this way, but I guess it just inevitable (for the better).
The key-person of this song is an unfaithful woman, though the lyrics are being told in the perspective of a fictional character. I thought of this concept being that love is more important than simple pleasure and the cowboy theme gives the whole text a pretty unforgiving tone."

- Harvey

lyrics

Lyrics:

I saw an angel and when i got to know her i knew
That she might be the one, but how would i get to her?
I tried to seduce her, but it felt like she was a predator.
And when she started to occupy my mind i pulled my gun,

I shot her down

Because even if she has a ring on her finger
She roamed across the sea of innocent victims.
I don’t know how i could not see this before,
Obviously she knew how to erase

Self esteem, consciousness,
Open minds and treasury.

I saw an angel, but i soon realized she wasn’t real.
Cold blooded but good minded i pulled my gun, i shot her down.

Justice before satisfaction

You wanted me to be your cowboy,
Instead let me be the bounty hunter.

I saw an angel, but i soon realized she wasn’t real.
Cold blooded but good minded i pulled my gun, i shot her down.


I shot her down
