rains draper – chickamauga lyrics
verse 1:
bayonets and bandoliers, flashing in the night
“come on lads, keep lively now, we’ll not fall without a fight!”
we grabbed our guns and shod our feet
and prepared ourselves our god to meet
“in victory or in defeat
they’ll sing of us this day!”
chorus:
oh, chickamauga, chickamauga
you took our sons from us
until rivers ran with blood
oh, chickamauga, chickamauga
tell me, were you satisfied
by all my brothers’ lives?
verse 2:
the grey of smoke, the red of blood seeping in the ground
soldiers, boys far from their homes, falling all around
firearm’s flash, a sea of stars
memories of long-healed scars
from other battles, other wars
on battlefields far away
chorus:
oh, chickamauga, chickamauga
you took our sons from us
until rivers ran with blood
oh, chickamauga, chickamauga
tell me, were you satisfied
by all my brothers’ lives?
ooh-ooh woah
ooh-ooh woah
verse 2:
i clutch my chest, but my breath is gone, i fall down to my knees
i hear my lips, from far away, release my final pleas
“the battle’s won!” i hear them cry
but whether foes or my allies
i cannot tell, as my soul, it flies
to the sun’s most golden ray
chorus:
oh, chickamauga, chickamauga
you took our sons from us
until rivers ran with blood
oh, chickamauga, chickamauga
tell me, were you satisfied
by all my brothers’ lives?
woah-oh-oh woah
woah-oh-oh woah
woah-oh-oh woah
woah-oh-oh woah
