The world’s gone to hell, ain't no doubt about it. Cities are crumbling and the sun scorches down on us all. But even in this wreckage, there’s still a little bit of life. We find it in the unexpected things: a decent canteen, a scrap of material for patching up our hideout, or maybe just a bright night sky. And sometimes, we find it in the words that echo through the ruins.
These aren’t your highbrow verses about love and loss. No sir, these are gut-wrenching words about survival, about the willpower it takes to keep going when everything else has collapsed. These are narratives whispered around campfires, recitated between refugees. They’re a reminder that even in the darkest of times, we can still find light in the most unlikely places.
- Pay Attention to the wind howling through the broken windows, it’s singing a song of resilience.
- Picture the stars shining brighter than ever, illuminating the path ahead.
- Never Forget that even in this wasteland, there’s still a fire burning inside each of us.

Blood Meridian Blues: An Ode to the Feral Flock
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 rusty kiss of the desert wind. The earth run red with their blood, and their screams echo across the plains like the wail of aforsaken soul. They are the flock, the feral children of this forsaken land, forever haunted by the specter of bloodshed.
Let us raise our voices, brothers and sisters, in a hymn to the feral heart. Let us sing a song of defiance against the order, and embrace the chaos that dances in their veins. For they are the true children of freedom, living on the razor's edge, where death is always waiting.
