lyrics

Gettysburg

we marched out of gettysburg
the war it just rolled on
and though i had my limbs intact
my innocence was gone

there’s a kind of battle thrill
i had come to know
all those brother soldiers prone
a ruthless wind their foe

war is god-like
war is hell
it’s what humans do so well

i’ve been scared and i was bold
we laughed around the fire
and there are things i think i did
best left in the mire

though they were our enemies
i felt both love and hate
they seemed just the same as us
fellow slaves to fate

war is god-like
war is hell
it’s what humans do so well

one day i’ll be walking home
and i hope i can find
something that competes with this
and scrubs it from my mind

war is god-like
war is hell
it’s what humans do so well 3X
