The Killigans - Shame and Sorrow Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Visages in the dying light of a long forgotten day
  • Bring sweet memories unbidden to my mind
  • A faded worn out photograph has become my cross to bear
  • A coward I left everything behind
  • There was a fire that year, my brother lost his leg in the war
  • For the Union he gave everything, but at Shiloh they took even more
  • I turn and walk away in shame and sorrow
  • But the demon’s grip pulls me back again
  • The bright refrain of a battle hymn was the anthem on our lips
  • The day we left home, spring 1862
  • For a sunken road called The Hornets’ Nest, in the face of the cannons’ fire
  • At Pearson’s words, “By God we’ll see it through”
  • And at the fight in the grove, the blossoms they covered our dead
  • When Johnston of the Rebels fell even the Bluecoats lowered their heads
  • And when I wake in the night I cry to myself, “What have I done?”
  • For the loved ones I’ve forsaken now I’m doomed to this wretched existence alone

  • Report error in lyric
