Rebel's Goodbye
(专辑: Cold As The Clay - 2006)
Oh the
lilies were laid on the
marble in the
field where the
ancestors lay, And the
forest was dark and primeval but the
boughs seemed to cradle as they swayed, And the
church choir sang hallelujah, and the
vernal breeze whispered a
sigh, Watch the
brethren all stand, praise their God, raise your hand, Tow the
bell for the
Rebel's goodbye When the
boots hit the
dirt in formation the
mood was determined and bright, And a
young, hopeful boy at the
station watched the
train carry troops to the
fight, But the
generals died by assassins, the
battalions dispersed on the
fly, And they paid for their sins with the
blood of their kin, Tow the
bell for the
Rebel's goodbye In the
dark heathen barracks of failure where the
tormenters wait for the
night, And the
sheltering sky hears their lost, tattered cries, Tow the
bell for the
Rebel's goodbye
