Lyrics I crossed the green mountain I slept by the stream Heaven blazing in my head I dreamt a monstrous dream
Something came up Out of the sea Swept through the land of The rich and the free
I look into the eyes Of my merciful friend And then I ask myself Is this the end?
Memories linger Sad yet sweet And I think of the souls In heaven who will meet
Alters are burning The flames far and wide The foe has crossed over From the other side
They tip their caps From the top of the hill You can feel them come More brave blood do spill
Along the dim Atlantic line The ravaged land Lasts for miles behind
The lights coming forward And the streets are broad All must yield To the avenging God
The world is old The world is grey Lessons of life Can't be learned in a day
I watch and I wait And I listen while I stand To the music that comes From a far better land
Close the eyes of our captain Peace may he know His long night is done The great leader is laid low
He was ready to fall He was quick to defend Killed outright he was By his own men
It's the last day's last hour Of the last happy year I feel that the unknown world is so near
Pride will vanish And glory will rot But virtue lives And cannot be forgot
The bells Of evening have rung There's blasphemy on every tongue
Let them say that I walked In fair nature's light And that I was loyal To truth and to right
Serve God and be cheerful Look upward beyond Beyond the darkness that masks The surprises of dawn
In the deep green grasses And the blood stained woods They never dreamed of surrendering They fell where they stood
Stars fell over Alabama I saw each star You're walking in dreams Whoever you are
Chilled are the skies Keen is the frost The ground's froze hard And the morning is lost
A letter to mother Came today Gunshot wound to the breast Is what it did say
But he'll be better soon He's in a hospital bed But he'll never be better He's already dead
I'm ten miles outside the city And I'm lifted away In an ancient light That is not of day
They were calm, they were blunt We knew them all too well We loved each other more than We ever dared to tell
