Requiem for a Bounty Hunter

The engine hums a lullaby of steel

Drifting through the void, is any of this real?

I light the last one, watch the smoke rings rise

Reflecting all the sorrow in your eyes

The weight of gold, the bounties that we chased

Now just a memory that time cannot erase

No gravity to hold the tears I cry

Just the endless black of a painted sky

So goodbye, partner, to the stars you go

Carried by the silence in the afterglow

Like cigarette smoke fading in the air

You’re gone, but the ghost of you is everywhere

A requiem for the hunter, lost in space

Finding peace at last in this quiet place

The capsule spins, a diamond in the dark

Leaving behind a final, fleeting mark

We ran from shadows, lived life on the run

But now your race is finished, and you’ve won

No more debts to pay, no more fights to pick

Just the burning ember and the clock’s last tick

The stars align to say a last goodbye

Beneath the endless black of a painted sky

So goodbye, partner, to the stars you go

Carried by the silence in the afterglow

Like cigarette smoke fading in the air

You’re gone, but the ghost of you is everywhere

A requiem for the hunter, lost in space

Finding peace at last in this quiet place

See you, space cowboy...

So goodbye, partner, to the stars you go

Carried by the silence in the afterglow

Like cigarette smoke fading in the air

You’re gone, but the ghost of you is everywhere

A requiem for the hunter, lost in space

Finding peace at last in this quiet place

See you, space cowboy...
