heather thomas - blood meridian lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
there rode a soul not six feet tall
with puckered grin no hiding sins
behind the drunken curling lips
shifting boots and then it hits

quit the patchwork soldiers with their
gnawing black t++th written for the west
in chains of pumice [?]
riding snowblind for that burned horizon

[chorus]
“i am not afraid” they say
as bullets rip and ricochet
severed hands and bleeding heels
sulfur stains and crooked wheels

“i am not a dead man yet”
how sure we are of what we get
until that dry day once you let
the hangman

[verse 2]
dark the dead of tavern spits
with wood, smoke, sweat, and poison pits
behind the drunken curling lips
shifting boots and then it hits
i’ll shoot you where you stand if i
can tell what kind of man you are
or run you down the wicker cliffs
i take the pistol from your cold hide

[violin solo]

[verse 3]
then come days of begging, days of theft
days of riding where there are no souls save the wretched, wicked
one man gone and another with it

riders on a storm of sand
the boulders that were exhaled as the
cracked hooves of their windbeat horses
trudge past thickets, bones, and scorched limbs

[chorus]
“i am not afraid” they say
as bullets rip and ricochet
severed hands and bleeding heels
sulfur stains and crooked wheels

“i am not a dead man yet”
how sure we are of what we get
until that cold night once you let
the hangman take your final breath
[violin solo]
