Walking thru fields of stone,
headstones marked as unknown.
Dates of death and no more,
lives lost in all the gore.
Battles fought, battles lost,
lives taken at any cost.
The civil war was the worst,
it can never be reversed.
Brother against brother
was a war like no other.
In these fields all alone,
not a noise, not a groan.
Civil war what 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 you went to war.
Never to come home again,
so many died so inhumane.
Let these stones be a lesson,
and ask God, for his blessin'.
