I.W. (In for the War)

I was just like you
I was once young, too
And all I thought I knew
Was blown, right – it was blown right through

When you're forced into this fight
It feels like
Yeah, you fall out of god's light
And it feels like

Well, I wasn't born in the woods to be scared by the owl
I've got forty dead men, fit to be tied and howl
Boy, follow that Angel's Glow, it'll lead you through the night
I'll meet you on the other side, patched up and feeling right

But the Devil's beating his wife
And it feels like
Yeah, you've fallen from god's light
And it feels like

Well, the Orphan's Brigade
Charged and led the raid
But Shiloh demands
A bloody toll must be paid

And as Beauregard prayed
His troops began to fade
A French Leave down Corinth Road
Leaves timbers disarrayed

These cannonballs
And these city walls
This Hornet's Nest will rise up
If you don't heed their call

Will nightfall
Bring our downfall?
No, your druthers is my ruthers
So, dear brothers, I will stall

(Oooh) I will stall
(Oooh) I will stall
(Oooh) I will stall
(Oooh) I will stall
