Animal Mother - High Ground lyrics

Mid of nineteenth century Texas vets have idle feet Contradicting policies North sets the indentured free South will not end slavery Mason Dixon line secedes Sumter falls to Confederacy As Lincoln tries to intervene Unwavering faith in the Lord Will feed the machine of this war Separating bone from flesh Degradates and then disperse Powder, grape and canister Rains down d**h from overhead First you bleed and then retreat High ground that we cannot breach Driven back from cannon volleys Musket fire and constant bombings At the mercy of opposed Forces that make you remorse Keep your faith in the Lord To lead the fight in this war Direct offensive deemed senseless Work their flank through wilderness McClellan was afraid to press Pushed back by inferior forces Richmond is now under siege Davis has recalled Longstreet Stuart nowhere to be seen Last hours of insurgency At the mercy of opposed Forces that make you remorse We lost our wall of stone And it cost us the price of this war
