A nation divided A view from a discouraged rebel Dawn breaks the morning skies Creeping along bloody lane The world mocks us with these mornings filled with beauty, These precious moments in the midst of chaos and gore Another battle is fought Another man down In the end is it worth it? Only time will tell Because that number, that thousands of casualties From only one battle keeps climbing I guess we we are all crazy in the end To kill others over pride and a sickening sense of justice As if we know what human life is worth It only ends in death and destruction Were the slaves really worth fighting for? I will fight for my way of life but after Pickett's charge at Gettysburg again I ask Is it worth it? When we prove our loyalty we lose our conscience When we are attacked by all 75,000 and still no side lets up Is it worth it? Sherman’s march will be the end to all our soldiers wearing red They now wear grey the color of death
