As Cold As It Gets

In light of where we are likely headed, a ponderism via a talented singer. Also a remembrance of a lost Brother and actual patriot, Mike Vanderboegh who created the below blog and who is now dead.

A haunting song by Patsy Griffin, "Cold As It Gets"

I had never heard it before. It struck me forcibly that someone living today, a child perhaps, will be softly singing this sometime in the near future, her hands cradling a rifle, squatting in a sniper's hide, waiting for her target to present itself -- someone responsible for setting in motion the events that took her loved ones in the next American civil war. So I'd like to dedicate this to Mark Potok, Mike Lawlor, Dannell Malloy, Eric Holder, Harry Reid and all those who seem determined -- by their actions and appetites -- to start that civil war. It is by their hands that their futures -- and all of ours -- will be written. I pray that they understand that before it is too late. But that's not the way to bet.

"Cold As It Gets"

by Patty Griffin

To the end of the Earth, I'll search for your face

For the one who laid all of our beauty to waste

Threw our hope into Hell and our children into the fire

I am the one who crawled through the wire

I am the one who crawled through the wire

There's a million sad stories on the side of the road

Strange how we all just got used to the blood

Millions of stories that'll never be told

Silent and froze in the mud

Silent and froze in the mud

I know a cold as cold as it gets

I know a darkness that's darker than cold

A wind that blows as cold as it gets

Blew out the light of my soul

Blew out the light of my soul

I dream in my sleep, I dream in my days

Of some sunny street not so far away

Where up in a window a curtain will sway

And you and I'll meet down below

You and I'll meet down below

I know a cold as cold as it gets

I fight a war, I may never see won

I live only to see you live to regret

Everything that you done

Everything that you done


Everything that you done
