In July 1863A nation torn in tragedyA trick of fate, two great armies mergeGods of war at GettysburgDevastation lies ahead50,000 bodies litter the landHell rages three full daysThe reaper sows, there's the devil to payThe pressure's on and the reb's attackThe yanks must hold, They can't fall backJust two brigades, 2000 strongAgainst 20,000 they can't hold longGeneral Reynolds makes his wayExpect no mercy from the iron brigadeUntil he shows they're on their ownBut Buford's men have a will of stoneBayonets gleam in the morning sunSmoke and fire belching from their gunsAnother volley and again they strikeThousands more comin' down Chambersburg pike[Chorus:]This tragedy and what it bringsAll the devastation(The reaper has his way)Men will kill, Blood will spillTo preserve the nation(There's the devil to pay)South of town down the Emmitsburg roadThe first corps are starting to showFor Buford's men, they're here just in timeThe desperate need to strengthen the lineBodies dropping the blue and the greyMuskets fire and cannon blazeThe union fights defending the townBut they're outnumbered and losing groundFrom the north and the west more rebels arriveThousands more and the fight multipliesMcPhearson's ridge and the black hats strikeA rebel sharpshooter takes Reynolds life[Repeat Chorus]Attack! Attack! General Lee gives commandThey're overwhelmed, The situation demandsThe federals retreat and rush out of townBut they have fortified and saved the high groundThe day ends in victory for the southLee's as convinced as God's will is profoundThey are invincible and their cause is justBut Longstreet is cautious and lacking in trustAcross the way the union digs inThe round tops, Cemetery Ridge and out to Culps HillTheir lines are strong, no denying they'll stayWhen the confederates strikeThere'll be the devil to pay[Repeat Chorus]
