[July 2nd, 1863]
Just a mile or so away
Is my dearest friend in this world.
He wears the Blue and I the Grey
And
god it hurts me so
The last time we were together
I grabbed his hand and I pledged
If I ever draw my sword on you
May the good
lord strike me dead.
The union flank's in trouble
To the round top on the double
A bad decision, insubordination
Exposed
our lie in a dangerous way
The burden lies upon us
Surrender is not an option
We are the flank and if we break
The union
crumbles, We could lose the war!
Down below's the carnage
The rebel's charging onward
Push the slaughter forward, the peach
orchard.
Through the wheat field and devils den
The valour of the Texans
And Alabama's best men
Their Unrelenting and
Devastating
The last full measure of devotion's clear.
[Chorus:]
We know what we're made of.
When up against all odds we
hold our line
For the cause that we so love
We must hold at all cost
We know what we're made of
when our nation needs us we'll
stay the cause
for the union we so love
We must hold at all costs!
Wave after wave they're coming
Their power must be
waning!
We're out of ammo, we can't fall back, no!
One desperate measure, a means to end
On their next wave we charge
them
There is no other option
Disconcert them, force submission
On my command, fix bayonets!
[Chorus:]
We know what
we're made of.
When up against all odds we hold our line
For the cause that we so love
We must hold at all cost
We know what
we're made of
when our nation needs us we'll stay the cause
for the union we so love
We must hold at all
costs!
[Chorus:]
We know what we're made of.
When up against all odds we hold our line
For the cause that we so love
We
must hold at all cost
We know what we're made of
when our nation needs us we'll stay the cause
for the union we so love
We
must hold at all costs!
