armies merge Gods of war at Gettysburg
Devastation lies ahead 50,000 bodies..litter the land Hell raises,three full days The reaper sows,and theres a devil to pay
The press is on and the rebs attack They Yanks must hold, they can65533;t fall back Just two brigades, 2000 strong Against 20,000 they can65533;t hold long
General Reynoldsmakes his way Expect no mercy from the "Iron Brigade" Until he shows, they65533;re on their own But Bufords men have a will of stone
Bayonets gleam in the morning sun Smoke fire belching from their guns Another volley and again they strike Thousands more coming to the site ?
Chorus: The tragedy and what it brings All the devastation... Men will kill blood will spill To preserve the nation
Sound the tone down the 65533;Emmitsburg Road" The first corps are starting to show For Bufords men theyre here just in time The desperate need to stregthen the line
Bodies droping, the blue the grey Muskets fire and the cannon blaze The union fight, defending the town but their outnumbered and losing ground
For they know very well as more Rebels arrive Thousands more and the fight multiplies McPhersons Ridge and the (Black Hand Strike????) A rebel sharpshooter takes Reynolds life
Chorus: The tragedy and what it brings All the devastation... Men will kill blood will spill To preserve the nation
Attack Attack General Lee gives command They65533;re overwhelemed, the situation demands The Federals retreat, they65533;ll rush out of town But they are fortified and save the high ground
The day ends victory for the South Lee (scales the fence, says) Gods will is profound They are invincible and they65533;re cause is just but Longstreet is cautious And lacking in trust..
Across the way, the Union did cheer The Round Tops Cemetary makes it hard to close in Their lines are strong, no denying this day When the Confederates strike, they65533;ll be a Devil to pay
