Crossing the Rubicon

The words

Over a slow blues, a man announces he has made an irreversible choice and will not turn back.

A man announces that he has made his irreversible choice and will not turn back, taking the ancient image of Caesar's crossing as his own. The verses swing between prayer, menace, dark humor and glimpses of his past, so it is never clear whether he is a pilgrim or a threat. Each verse ends by returning to the decision he has made. It grinds along as a slow, heavy blues, menacing and steady.
