Young man

In a blue coat

You are trembling with fear

With the thought of dying 

Your heart beats faster than you can count

Where are you?

"I'm in the Civil War"

"I need to defend my country"

From whom?

"The Confederate States"

"All they want is slavery"

"But we know that it is wrong"

"Ready? Fire!"

(BANG) (BANG)

Many fall to the ground instantly 

ZING! ZING!

SPLAT! SPLAT!

The soldier struggles to reload

Then it happens...

It seemed as though the bullet were in slow motion

As it reached the soldier's heart

He then goes to the ground

His blood seeps into the dirt

His eyes close forever

He fought very bravely 

He sacrificed his life in order to put an end to slavery

He gave his all

God bless this soul

Goodbye...
