Part II Haunted in a barren wasteland Pursued endlessly An enemy of the state Without home And without a friend All options have run out Part III A towering man A giant Skin shone like ash Like none you've ever seen Violence is a way of life Endless pursual across the great steppe Rape the women and cut off their heads Kill the children Skin is cut off Everyone must be killed I shall not rest until every Indian scalp is in my hands Part IV I shouldn't be here I have everything I could ever want More than any man ever had But this is not my fate Part V All these years... You can never escape He forges on Strange currencies He dances on He forges on

about

An EP inspired by and about Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian

Track 1 consists of one song in five parts
I. Overture
II. Mexico, 1849
III. The Killing Fields
IV. The Massacre at Yuma
V. All These Years Later (1849 Reprise)
Track 2 serves as a postlude to track 1

“That man who sets himself the task of singling out the thread of order from the tapestry will by the decision alone have taken charge of the world and it is only by such taking charge that he will effect a way to dictate the terms of his own fate.”
