The long bloody battles find their end
No time to stop to mark their graves
Fighting to keep the Union together
That’s nothing to ask for
When the war turns into a bloody Hell
To free the slaves that are everywhere
Tell a tale of life and death
To follow their desires for liberty
Without sending therm back to Liberia
To them confinement means jail
Thousands of years bleed to death
Of those who wonder why we fight
Well we fight to stay alive
