I heard a call to war..
There beneath a sky of blue,
Standing upon a lawn of green
They marched towards a house painted White
And the people cheered
We've come to settle score
The donned their flags
Red, white and blue
Each held their gun up high
And the people cheered.
Mine eyes have seen the glory
of the coming of the lord,
He is trampling out the vintage
where the grapes of wrath are stored,
He hath loosed his fateful lightning
of His terrible swift sword,
His truth is marching on
And the people sang
Glory! Glory ! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah
Glory! Glory ! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on
The ants go marching one by one.
Hoorah! Hoorah!
The ants go marching one by one.
Hoorah! Hoorah!
The ants go marching one by one;
The little one stops to suck his thumb,
And they all go marching down into the ground
To get out of the rain.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Down, down down into the ground
6 feet under
When Johnny comes marching home again,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome then
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The men will cheer and the boys will shout
The ladies they will all turn out
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home.
And suddenly the people wept
Gone were their shouts
Silenced were their jeers
This was the sum of all fears
A bloodbath in the name of freedom
If they gather, in America's name
Do not go
If they call to arms, against the government
Stay your place
Gather your children
Kiss your wives
Love your neighbor
Be gentle as you are wise
What will be..is coming
And was spoken of..is here
Those who understand...listen
For the time is near
