Blood Meridian
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
The judge will say what has been known for centuries
What joins men is the sharing of enemies
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
To 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
The judge will say what has been known for centuries
What joins men is the sharing of enemies
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
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
The judge will say what has been known for centuries
What joins men is the sharing of enemies
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
To 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
The judge will say what has been known for centuries
What joins men is the sharing of enemies
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
