[00:41.05]In the rain you can't tell a distance

[01:36.12]
[01:40.99]Toy soldiers with faces of little children
[01:47.62]Too confused, too tired to complain
[01:54.31]Time to march hope old Sarge knows...
[01:57.73]Where he's goin'...
[02:01.04]Follow blind; follow the Blue and the Grey
[02:05.84]
[02:11.03]Destiny plays a game of redemption
[02:17.97]Like a wheel of a Casson in the mud
[02:24.35]Halbert Blake still in a daze from November
[02:31.16]After shooting his first rebel thug

[02:41.47]Let it go, go ahead, let it go now

[03:36.76]
[04:12.08]Underneath a musky tent Kneels a general
[04:18.88]Praying loudly for deliverance for his men
[04:25.45]He could be on either side of this conflict
[04:32.20]He just wishes he wasn't fighting his old friends
[04:37.70]
[04:42.39]Crumpled letters in a field coat from aunt Lettie
[04:49.26]„Are you practicing your music like you said“

[06:10.16]The afternoon is the worst for a warrior
[06:17.09]Muskets rest and the cook test his art
[06:24.15]Once a slave in the beginning of this madness
[06:30.77]Now a free-man pushing wounded in a cart
[06:35.21]
[06:40.84]Fourteen years voluteer, old as a mountain
[06:47.59]„Send the young one, he's a good shot, yes indeed“
