A Gun Bullets and Religion's Powder Burn

black as hell
with a lingering aftermath
discharged at the pulpit preaching
where religion got its gunpowder smell
moral chaos the book of ruth wrath

colorado territory
ain't the land of moab
but the judges gonna govern
her name's not naomi her name's
not ruth this is a story of truth

barley harvest
bringing in verse 15
chemosh is a living demon
the gun went out full and came
back empty leftover worshiper of 
demon in the old west

threshing floor
black widow crawls
smashed under the boot
of doc holliday's female sidekick
a gun bullets and religion's powder burn
ruth swears an oath to naomi to remain loyal
