Captain Emmett Lochran: The bugle calls us to the line From the mists of the long ago See how the battle sabres shine And the shadows the flags all throw For the glory For a land forever free For the last best hope of mankind For the better part of me For the glory For the words we hold so dear Let us give the last full measure Gathered here For the glory
Frederick Douglass: Our time to stand has come at last Let the drums start the long long roll
Black Soldier: The chains are gone, the die is cast To His grace I commend my soul
Captain Emmett Lochran: For the glory For the Dixie that I know For the way of life we cherish, For the glory For the Dixie that I know For the way of life we cherish Let us die, or let us go For the glory For the home we hold so dear Let us give the last full measure Gathered here
For the glory!
Female Voice: Sleep in my arms now All your pain is passed. Sleep, for you have travelled far Now you are home, at last. Go as you came here Time to say goodbye. Light, soft as a melody Safe in a lullaby
The fields are green The rivers are unclean And all so far from here ...
Rest for a while, now All you work is done. Rest here in my waiting arms Now that your race is run ...
All: For the glory For the men who’ve gone before For the men who will come after We will wage this bloody war For the glory For the truth we hold so dear Let us give the last full measure Gathered here … For the glory!
