In 1902, he succeeded by [C]blowing up one wall of the Gothic stone building, killing several inmates in the process. Gus escaped down the river. He [D]was caught and shot dead in Oklahoma many years later.

the blood of who [D]you [C]are
so count on some [D]cross [C]to find
the things you lost
[D]

the world ex[D]plodes
