Antietam
A devastating assault
Cast upon their left flank
Confederates at fault
Dispiriting their vast ranks
On a bridge they rode
Stampeding with full power
The Union army showed
Who stood tall that final hour
Brother, Brother
Shoot each other
For your country
For your own life
Father, Mother
Have Another
We are Dying
Stop your crying
This bloody day
Their hearts are still bleeding
But too much blood is lost
The dead wind is beating
From their own holocaust
Reinforcements come
And march on the field
Beating on their drums
For hours they never yield
Brother, Brother
Shoot each other
For your country
For your own life
Father, Mother
Have Another
We are dying
Stop your crying
This bloody day
