rebel stand - countess lyrics
“the grave old bard, who never dies
receive him in our english tongue;
i send thee, but with weeping eyes
the story that he sung.”
1861, april 12, 4:30
an epic struggle’s first shots fired
fort sumter sh*lled for 34 hours
an assault relentless and inspired
the union flag was at last torn down
independence seemed for the taking
glorious victories abounded at first
and left the yankee soldiers shaking
olden muskets versus modern rifles
a rural nation against industrial force
glorious exploits for honour and pride
in one of the most renowned of wars
an admirable fight against all odds
a defiant struggle to save their land
a brave stance against a superior foe
forever inspirational the rebel stand
the brilliance of lee seen at bull run
then stonewall’s iron valley campaign
fredericksburg and chancellorsville
the men in grey left their foe in pain
a decisive victory was not achieved
the war dragged on four long years
superior numbers started to count
confidence began to turn to fears
olden muskets versus modern rifles
a rural nation against industrial force
glorious exploits for honour and pride
in one of the most renowned of wars
an admirable fight against all odds
a defiant struggle to save their land
a brave stance against a superior foe
forever inspirational the rebel stand
finally at appomatox it came to end
after so many a cruel and bl**dy battle
ultimately the union was preserved
in spite of the rebels’ n0ble mettle
the dust now settled a nation in ruins
and after effects do persist ‘til this day
but never will by history be forgotten
the heroic feats of the men in grey
olden muskets versus modern rifles
a rural nation against industrial force
glorious exploits for honour and pride
in one of the most renowned of wars
an admirable fight against all odds
a defiant struggle to save their land
a brave stance against a superior foe
forever inspirational the rebel stand
“the widow’s moan, the orphan’s wail
come round thee, yet in truth be strong:
eternal right, though all else fail
can never be made wrong.”
