Gettysburg

Lyrics

The air was still and the day was almost done And I began to believe that life was almost beautiful The memory that haunts me still Of the day we spent upon that Gettysburg hill Sweet smelling day we spent in the past Reliving history on a battlefield of grass The air was still and the day was almost done And I began to believe that life was almost beautiful The air was still and the day was almost done And I began to believe that life was almost beautiful Hand in hand, togethеr with the edge of thе day I began to wonder what those history books would say I found no answer in the speechless eyes Of a weather-beaten statue staring blind to the skies Rusty black cannon fired only in my mind With questions unanswered by a century of time And above us, stone generals sat proud to the sun Reviewing the ranks of men that lie there slaughtered Hand in hand, up with the edge of the day I began to wonder what those history books would say I found no answer in the speechless eyes Of a weather-beaten statue staring blind to the skies The air was still and the day was almost done And I began to believe that life was almost beautiful The air was still and the day was almost done But victory left the wrongs of war unaltered, unaltered, unaltered
