Blood Meridian Blues: An Elegy for the Savage Herd
This here's a song about wildness, 'bout the kind of heart that beats like a drum in the belly of amonster. We sing for the outlaws, the ones who walk on the edge of sanity, their souls stained with the crimson kiss of the desert wind. The dust run red with their blood, and their screams echo across the plains like the wail of aforsaken soul. They are the herd, the feral children of this forsaken land, forever haunted by the ghost of warfare.
Let us raise our voices, brothers and sisters, in a hymn to the savage heart. Let us sing a song of defiance against the law, and embrace the chaos that dances in their veins. For they are the true warriors, living on the razor's edge, where death is always waiting.
