about
"Blood Meridian" was written and inspired by Cormac McCarthy's book of the same title. I wrote the song from the perspective of God as narrator, a voice directly addressing the characters themselves, questioning their thirst for violence and war.
lyrics
I won’t tell you how to live,
If I tell you what to think,
I could wake up in the morning with a pistol at my cheek
You ride with a priest,
A captain, and a judge,
Spilling native blood,
justice will be done,
When you don’t think to run
Young man, your God is waking
War is madmen’s making
If you ride with crooked men through the western land
You best shut your eyes when you meet the blood meridian
And live your life like you don’t care if it ends
You are not your father, boy
And battle only beats the soul
With nothing left, you’ll come to know
Load your weapon and hold tight your whiskey
How do you go on to live with no remorse
So desensitized to using deadly force
Who are you fighting for
Young man, your God is waking
War is madmen’s making
If you ride with crooked men through the western land
You best shut your eyes when you meet the blood meridian
And live your life like you don’t care
live your life like you don't care
live your life like you don't care
if it ends

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
