A spaghetti western with some biblical references from the book of Ecclesiastes verses 9:5-9:7 which say: "For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward; but the memory of them is lost. Their love and their hate, and their envy have already perished and they have no more for ever any share in all that is done under the sun. Go, eat your bread, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has already approved what you do." It continues obviously but the point is pretty much "Eat, Drink and Be Merry for Tomorrow We Die."

Lyrics

No man is bigger than a slug from a .45
Even a two gun tenderfoot can take the fastest gun alive
And in that fatal stillness before the storm of strife
Thirty yards is but an inch of your life

What can a good man do when his time has come?
Even with his wits, a fast horse, and a blazing gun?
Go down swingin' proud and tall until you hear that trumpet call
A buzzard's fate awaits us one and all

So go eat your food with gladness, drink your wine and joyful sing
For the living know they will die....
And the dead know nothing

Life is cheap along the dusty trail
And there's always someone meaner even if you're mean as hell
And the devil keeps on trackin' those who flee or those who stand
But no matter how death comes, there's one for every man.

So go eat your food with gladness, drink your wine and joyful sing
For the living know they will die....
And the dead know nothing
