BROTHER FOUGHT BROTHER

Brother fought Brother
They killed one another
War ... bloody war
spread through the land.

Brother fought Brother
They killed one another
War ... bloody war
spread through the land.
A house divided cannot stand.
Oh the Blue and the Grey coats
marched along.
The bugles revealed a soldier's song.
They were all brave boys
with courageous dreams
who became bitter men by the age of 18.
When the glamour of battle
soon lost its charm.
When your cannon ball fodder
missing legs and arms
Where the glory of the flag
and the glamour of war,
When the maggots are lodging in your
wounded and sores.

In the middle of the night there were
noonday skies
and the fires from hell
to the heavens did arise.
When Sherman torched Atlanta with the
wrath of Mars
and the south will
forever bear the scars.
Sherman's march to sea
was a senseless
slaughter,
the bluecoats raped
all the Georgia
daughters,
They begged for mercy
and they screamed with fear.
The bluecoats laughed
with a vengeful jeer.

Bridge

What happened to the grand plan?
The founding fathers family of man?
What happenned to the home of the free?
The ladies weep for
liberty.
Men rule with an iron hand
Marshall law has taken over the land
