The battle roared that summer day Gunfire heard for miles away Cannon-balls were biting stone Cold shining steel cut to the bone When the smoke had cleared away Johnny Reb came out to play The Union Army lay in wait The blade of doom would choose his fate
Terrible swift sword – bites flesh and screams for war Sings loud as satan grins as he triumphs once again
The north has built its industry Their future in the factory The South was close to mother earth Plantation home a right of birth The change in life-styles caused the split But that was just the half of it The thought that all men should be free Would break the bounds of slavery
Terrible swift sword – cast a shadow on our land Terrible swift sword – scars our nation like a brand
A nation’s tear would pour like rain But that could never ease the pain The enemy we fought, our brothers A lesson to be learned by others But now we have a different game Buttons hell it’s all the same To keep the peace I have a plan We should learn to love our fellow man
Terrible swift sword – brings unrest to our world Destruction by it’s hand has scarred the fatherlandTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
