They didn't end up using it in the game, but we wanted to share with Red Dead fans. It was written by Chris Holmes/Jon Bates/Oliver Kraus. Music by Chris Holmes with Oliver Kraus on Strings. Vocals by Jon Bates and Chris Holmes.
lyrics
Blessed Are The Peacemakers
verse
Blessed are the peacemakers
Who will never know peace
Blessed are the soldiers
Who's wars will never cease
Blessed be this powder
May it's thunder keep us free
Blessed be this trigger
May it never be released
chorus
(Ride into the the night)
Ride into the night
(While memories and enemies lay sleeping)
While our enemies lay sleeping
(Ride into the light)
Ride into the light
To Remedy and better me and take me home
verse
Blessed are the peacemakers
Always running towards the fight
Blessed are these angels
May they lead us towards the light
Blessed are us sinners
May we keep our conscience clean
Blessed be the wicked
If their paths cross with me
chorus
(Ride into the the night)
Ride into the night
(While memories and enemies lay sleeping)
While our enemies lay sleeping
(Ride into the light)
Ride into the light
To Remedy and better me and take me home
instrumental break
chorus
(Ride into the the night)
Ride into the night
(While memories and enemies lay sleeping)
While our enemies lay sleeping
(Ride into the light)
Ride into the light
To Remedy and better me and take me home
