Atlanta In Ashes Lyrics

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
