Gettysburg Anthem
June 7, 2015
Shouts in the distance
Clamping of boots
War is approaching,
Gettysburg
Blatantly the morning
Rises from its bed
Cannon-fire overhead
Skirmish in the field
Provides no shield
War is approaching
Gettysburg
Here soldiers surge
Fighting through the merge
Falling in the streets
And on the hills
Death is ringing
As rifles are flinging
Doom and destruction near
War is approaching,
Gettysburg
It used to be a name
For which 'they'
Were to blame
War, is approaching
Gettysburg.
