Atlanta In Ashes

How did we lose all this
It seemed is was an evident bliss
Overconfident it would be won
Not a nation given to one song
I won't fight for a gentlemen's cause
Shot in the back by misguided gun
(No more)
This the end
(No more)
Till we meet again

We burn this city
So this union will be safe

Take- take me from this tragedy
To a place where I can hold my own
Not pinned beneath these burning guns

Pre-dawning of the northern lights
They entrench their works in the night
Poor judgement by a union son
Losing three soldiers to our one
One by one upon a funeral pyre
One by one until the all caught fire
(Once more)
This is the end
(No more)
Now we meet again

Take- take me from this tragedy
To a place where I can hold my own
Not pinned beneath these burning guns
Please- can you take me from this tragedy
To place where I can call my own
I dont deserve this

Now is the time for me to accost you

On bended knees I am
Unleash the cannons rampart
What was so great the cost
For should this fight be lost
Maybe a hero will die in vain

Take- take me from this tragedy
To a place where I can hold my own
Not pinned beneath these burning guns
Please- can you take me from this tragedy
To place where I can call my own
I dont deserve this
This is the end
Till we meet again
