Walking thru these fields of stone,
headstones marked as unknown.
Dates of death and no more,
lives lost in all the gore.
Battles fought and battles lost,
lives taken at quite a cost.
The civil war was the worst,
it can never be reversed.
Brother against brother
it was a war like no other.
In these fields all alone,
not a noise, not a groan.
Civil war such a shame,
no one else can we blame.
Families broken members lost
all this at what a cost.
Rhyme or reason there is none,
what has happened won't be undone.
Lost souls buried forever more,
all we know is they went to war.
Men never to come home again,
and many died so inhumane.
Let these stones be a lesson,
and ask God now for his blessin'.
