The Civil Wars - Gettysburg lyrics

Leaving all behind, the award is to be found Like a scene from a dream and a vision of heavenly might In the cradle of this war, I know, and that's for sure When the battle's done: there can be only one I am marching against evil May the Lord be on our side Ready to fight; fire at will We shall die in Gettysburg Ready to fight; fire at will People will cry over Gettysburg This inferno turned me blind there was fire and smoke all around Dead bodies and blood everywhere in this unholy ground Now the future is no more, we're all lost to this vicious who*e When the victory's won, I'm a fatherless son We went out to fight for glory Only one of us came home I sit here on my porch as an old and lonely man Sometimes I recall when terror struck the land Was it right to go to arms to defend the freedom rights I am sure or else I've lived upon a lie
