Ride on Saddle up in the night We'll ride out before the break of day Yes we're gonna ride away Hounds in our tracks With blood thirst more fiery Than the red hot sun that burns these big ol' plains Blood meridian Not even ghosts will survive to tell the tales of this band Blood meridian Not even bones will survive to mark the graves Of the tribe that lost this land When they get to us The land will dry the dream is shattered Will it be just one of many cruelties under the sun Medicine man help me dream myself into the battle At least I'll leave a lasting memory after I'm gone Blood meridian Not even ghosts will survive to tell the tales of this band Blood meridian Not even bones will survive to mark the graves Of the tribe that lost this land
