In July 1863 A Nation Torn In Tragedy A Trick of Fate, Two Great Armies Merge Gods Of War At Gettysburg Devastation Lies Ahead 50,000 Bodies Litter The Land Hell Rages Three Full Days The Reaper Sows, There?s The Devil To Pay
The Pressure?s On And The Reb?s Attack The Yanks Must Hold, They Can?t Fall Back Just Two Brigades, 2000 Strong Against 20,000 They Can?t Hold Long
General Reynolds Makes His Way Expect No Mercy From The Iron Brigade Until He Shows They?re On Their Own But Buford?s Men Have A Will Of Stone
Bayonets Gleam In The Morning Sun Smoke And Fire Belching From Their Guns Another Volley And Again They Strike Thousands More Comin? Down The Chambersburg Pike
Chorus This Tragedy And What It Brings All The Devastation *The Reaper Has His Way Men Will Kill, Blood Will Spill To Preserve The Nation *There?s The Devil To Pay
South Of Town Down The Emmitsburg Road The First Corps Are Starting To Show For Buford?s Men, They?re Here Just In Time The Desperate Need To Strengthen The Line
Bodies Dropping The Blue And The Grey Muskets Fire And Cannon Blaze The Union Fights Defending The Town But They?re Outnumbered And Losing Ground
From The North And The West More Rebels Arrive Thousands More And The Fight Multiplies McPhearson?s Ridge And The Black Hats Strike A Rebel Sharpshooter Takes Reynolds Life
Chorus This Tragedy And What It Brings All The Devastation *The Reaper Has His Way Men Will Kill, Blood Will Spill To Preserve The Nation *There?s The Devil To Pay
Attack! Attack! General Lee Gives Command They?re Overwhelmed, The Situation Demands The Federals Retreat And Rush Out Of Town But They Have Fortified And Saved The High Ground
The Day Ends In Victory For The South Lee?s As Convinced As God?s Will Is Profound They Are Invincible And Their Cause Is Just But Longstreet Is Cautious And Lacking In Trust
Across The Way The Union Digs In The Round Tops, Cemetary Ridge And Out To Culps Hill Their Lines Are Strong, No Denying They?ll Stay When The Confederates Strike There?ll Be The Devil To Pay
Chorus This Tragedy And What It Brings All The Devastation *The Reaper Has His Way Men Will Kill, Blood Will Spill To Preserve The Nation *There?s The Devil To Pay -------------------------------------------------- Lies feed your judgement of others Behold how the blind lead each other The philosopher You know so much about nothing at all
Am ersten Tag - es graut der Morgen, der Jüngling holt die Netze ein. Es ist bitterkalt, die Brise steif, der Nebel hüllt das Boot ganz ein. Er träumt von warmer Stube noch, als die lieblich Stimme ihn ereilt. "Dich friert wohl? Weisst du, niemand friert, wenn er in meinem Reich verweilt."
Was staunt der Fischer als er erblickt ein Mädchen auf den nahen Klippen, wunderschön ist's anzusehen, das wallend Harr, die vollen Lippen. Doch - oh je - dem Fischer fröstelt, als er den Unterleib gewahrt. Nicht Beine, einen Fischleib sieht er und flieht zum Hafen seiner Heimat.
Man hört Geschichten, Mythen, Sagen, Engelsgleich ihr golden Haar, wüsste ich nur wo, ich würde es wagen, zu lauschen dem Gesang - fürwahr! Für einen Kuss von ihren Lippen würde ich alles geben, was ich hab'! Mein Hab und Gut und meine Seele...
Am zweiten Tag - die gleiche Stelle, die ganze Nacht an sie gedacht, die Schönheit auf der Klippe gestern hat ihn um den Schlaf gebracht. Seine Augen suchen noch als Gesänge ihm sein Herz erweichen: "In meinem Reich am Grund der See, nie Schmerz und Sorgen dich erreichen!"
Am dritten Tag - die gleiche Stelle, die ganze Nacht lang hielt er Wacht, nicht aus dem Ohr die süssen Känge, tiefe Sehnsucht ist entfacht. Er lehnt sich weit über die Reeling, zu erblicken diese Frau. Da ist sie, ganz nah bei ihm und streckt die Hände nach ihm aus.

Lights are out in the street where I stand It sure would be great to have a clock with no hands Met a man said he was wise and in tune Lazy Sundays turn to Mondays to soon
He said take my hand let us walk thru' that door I said I walk with my feet and I've been thru' it before The end is nigh son I said I suppose If it is we must be pretty damn close
Ain't no stone unturned No wiseguy's gonna put me down Ain't no song unheard But it laughs back at you now And that might put you down
With bloodshot eyes he was letting me know He said ten years from now I said a hundred ago Don't you leave now I know you will fail I said that's old news I'm sorry gotta bail
Ain't no stone unturned No wiseguy's gonna put me down Ain't no song unheard But it laughs back at you now And that might put you down
