[Verse]
(strike twice)
All the lilies were laid on the marble
(strike twice)
in the field where the ancestors lay,
(strike twice)
And the forest was dark and primeval
(strike twice)
but the boughs seemed to cradle as they swayed,
(strike twice)
And the church choir sang hallelujah,
(strike twice)
and the vernal breeze whispered a sigh,
Watch the brethren all stand,
praise their God, raise your hand,
(strike twice)
Tow the bell for the Rebel s goodbye x2
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
(strike twice)
In the dark heathen barracks of failure
(strike twice)
where the tormenters wait for the night,
And the sheltering sky
hears their lost, tattered cries,
(strike twice)
Tow the bell for the Rebel s goodbye x2
