Greg Graffin - Rebels Goodbye lyrics

Artist: Greg Graffin

album: Cold As The Clay


Oh, the lilies were laid on the marble
In the field where the ancestors lay
And the forest was dark and primeval
But the boughs seemed to cradle as they swayed
And the church choir sang hallelujah
And the vernal breeze whispered a sigh
Watch the brethren all stand
Praise their God, raise your hand
Tow the bell for the rebel's goodbye
Tow the bell for the rebel's goodbye
When the boots hit the dirt in formation
All the mood was determined and bright
And a young, hopeful boy at the station
Watched the train carry troops to the fight
But the generals died by assassins
The battalions dispersed on the fly
And they paid for their sins with the blood of their kin
Tow the bell for the rebel's goodbye
Tow the bell for the rebel's goodbye
In the dark heathen barracks of failure
Where the tormenters wait for the night
And the sheltering sky hears their lost, tattered cries
Tow the bell for the rebel's goodbye
Tow the bell for the rebel's goodbye
Tow the bell for the rebel's goodbye
Tow the bell for the rebel's goodbye
