Rebel's Goodbye Lyrics

Interpret: Greg Graffin
Titel: Rebel's Goodbye
Album: Cold As The Clay

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 the swayed
And the curch choire 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 (x2)

When the boots hit the dirt in formation 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
An they paid for their sins with the blood of their kin
Tow the bell for the Rebel's Goodbye (x2)

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 (x4)
