Suggested by PegglesTheSawyer

Get out your guns

John Laurens was sent to South Carolina during the Revolution.

Battle's begun

He lead many colored men, women, and children. Many died...

Are you a saint or sinner?

John prayed that these slaves would be free...

If love's a fight

He fought for their freedom... Until...

Then I shall die
W

ith my heart on the trigger

He got shot by a british officer...

They say before you start a war
You better know what you're fighting for

It was rumored that he was dead... And slaves weren't freed...

Well baby, you are all that I adore

But... John woke up and stood in an empty field...

If love is what you need
A soldier I will be

John reached home and received the letter to join Alexander...

I'm an angel with a shotgun
Fighting until the war's won

John traveled once again and entered those doors...

I don't care if heaven won't take me back

As soon as he saw Alex and George he smiled so brightly.

I'll throw away my faith, babe
Just to keep you safe

But... Then he saw Thomas Jefferson...

Don't you know you're everything I have

He was so tall and handsome...

And I want to live not just survive tonight

John was glad he came because if he didn't, he wouldn't have met Thomas...

Sometimes to win
You've got to sin

Thomas and John became close, Alex despised it but continued to be John's friend.

Don't mean I'm not a believer

John looked after Thomas when he was sick...

And Major Tom will sing along
Yeah, they still say I'm a dreamer

Though... John didn't like the fact that Thomas had slaves...

They say before you start a war

John would take care of Thomas instead of the slaves..

You better know what you're fighting for

Soon Thomas let those slaves go free..

Well baby, you are all that I adore

John and Thomas secretly courted each other...

If love is what you need
A soldier I will be

John was Thomas' soldier...

I'm an angel with a shotgun
Fight until the war's won

People soon began to find out about John and Thomas...

I don't care if heaven won't take me back

Officers tried to take them down and beat them... But John went to war...

I'll throw away my faith, babe
Just to keep you safe

He knows how to fight people of all shapes and sizes...

Don't you know you're everything I have

Thomas got attacked while he was alone...

And I want to live not just survive tonight

It infuriated John... John went everywhere with Thomas so he could be protected... No matter what happened, John fought for Thomas...

Oh, oh whoa, whoa, oh

John and Thomas found a place where they could live together peacefully...

I'm an angel with a shotgun
Fighting until the war's won

They spent years in a small cottage...

I don't care if heaven won't take me back

They lived for a long time...

I'm an angel with a shotgun
Fighting until the war's won

Officers found them and attacked... Thomas got severely injured...

I don't care if heaven won't take me back

John fought as many as he could off...

I'll throw away my faith, babe
Just to keep you safe

John found his pistol and began shooting...

Don't you know you're everything I have

Thomas was loosing blood...

And I want to live not just survive

John watched as Thomas slowly died... It broke him inside...

And I'm gonna hide, hide, hide my wings tonight

He dropped all his weapons and ran to Thomas...

They say before you start a war

He hugged Thomas' lifeless body and sobbed...

You better know what you're fighting for

John looked up and saw a officer looking at him with a smirk...

Well baby, you are all that I adore

Then he felt a sharp pain go into his chest...

If love is what you need

Thomas Jefferson and John Laurens had died... together...

A soldier I will be
