Hardened men ride with grit in their hearts,

And pistols hanging heavy on their hips.

A war is coming.

A beautiful belle, once common whore,

Is stolen away from the man she loves.

A war is coming.

The ex-Confederate rallies allies and friends,

When a friend and two fiends are found dead at his door.

A war is coming.

With prayers on their tongues and righteous vengeance in their hearts,

They prepare for the fight and board the first train to River City.

A war is coming.

Clash with the Regulars, caught by surprise!

Bullet to the gut and ole one-eye dies!

A war is coming.

With Rebel yells and Comanche shrieks!

Gunshot and blade sees the blood seep!

A war is coming.

Now reunited are Caroline and Everett,

But does that mean an end to the conflict?

No.

A war is coming.

In the timeless words of Mugatu, "Dear God, it's beautiful!"

Never mess with wests true love

This dame aint no cooing dove

Rather she's a red hawk circling high in the sky

Down she'll dive with screeching cry

and those who sought to cage her will

surely die.

I can see this as a great ending scene to a movie complete with song. Good stuff. Also ❤️Steffany Gretzinger.

That's exactly how I imagined it myself when I wrote the ending. I tend to think in cinematic terms when I write, and closing scenes in movies, with the right music attached, can leave a very powerful impression.
