Making my way across dixie, eighteen sixty-five;
|
I walked all the and halfway to heaven, now believe I'm on the other side;
|
Day turns into nightime, nightime's by my side;
|
I look to he sky, I see shining light, the stars will be my guide;
|
|
The smell of gunsmoke in the air;
|
Lighting fills the sky;
|
I heard a rebel yell just as loud as hell;
|
You can hear it 'round the world tonight;
|
The silent reign of heroes;
|
is what brings me here today;
|
What I came to fight for, seems so far away
|
So far away;
|
Far away;
|
|
Tell me whats the cost of freedom;
|
Fighting for my life and family name;
|
|
The devil's laughing long and hard deep in hell tonight;
|
My feet are bleeding right through my shoes;
|
Ground's as cold as ice;
|
Sing no killer angels;
|
Can you hear my cry?
|
It seems like a sin when nobody wins and so many had to die;
|
|
Who is right, and tell me who is wrong;
|
Old boys come down from here to Virginia;
|
To sing the battle song;
|
The silent reign of heroes is what gives me strenght today;
|
Tell me whats the cost of freedom;
|
It's so far away, far away;
|
|
Fighting for our heritage yeah;
|
It's so far away, far away;
|
When I see my home and family;
|
Then I know I finally paid a debt.
