Long Lost Grave - Place Of Skulls

Twenty years in Missouri, when I left the trees were green

Answered the call of fury, to fight for our beliefs

My uniform is splendid, my rifle clean

Mother I’ll write you letters, tell you what I see

The cannon balls come screamin' ears filled with cries and moans

Sometimes I think I’m dreamin', blood on the snow

Now my belly’s burnin', their lead has found its mark

So cold my legs are turnin', the world is goin' dark

I don’t claim to understand the force that drives this man

Just my faith in what I’m told, bravery is gold

Mother it seems a shame to die so far away

Will someone send me home

I don’t claim to comprehend the feud between these men

All I know is what I see, thye don’t care for me

All the glory’s lies, left me here to die

Alone and cryin' I bleed
