track 3: Father Corby<\/p>\n

\n

Oh Father Corby
\nSay a last prayer for us
\nWith your absolution
\nGod’s will we will trust
\nWill a unified country
\nBe my efforts yield
\nOr was I meant to die
\nOn a Gettysburg field
\nSay a last prayer for us<\/p>\n

Two years of battle
\nHave whittled us down
\nTo just over
\nFive hundred strong
\nBut the loss of our brothers
\nWon’t melt our resolve
\nFor we knew that
\nThe slog would be long<\/p>\n

Behind Patrick Kelly
\nWe’ll rally again
\nIn the pale of
\nA foreboding sky
\nWith the strength of your blessing
\nCleansing our sin
\nWe’ll march into
\nA wheat field to die<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

The message was spread
\nThrough the ranks in the morn
\nThat the chaplain
\nWould lead us to pray
\nHe’d won the right
\nHe’d been there in the fight
\nBeside us each step of the way<\/p>\n

We all gathered ’round
\nAnd we knelt on the ground
\nOur heads bowed
\nIn silent revere
\nA man of the cloth
\nStanding there on a rock
\nWith his hands
\nTo the heavens so near<\/p>\n

So Father absolve us
\nFor what lies ahead
\nAnd the sins
\nIn the things we must do
\nIn the taking of lives
\nMaking widows of wives
\nFor redemption
\nWe all look to you<\/p>\n

Through the smoke and the haze
\nAnd the bloodiest of days
\nWe’re delivered to
\nThis fateful dawn
\nThough exhausted and scared
\nOur faith and your prayers
\nWill provide us
\nThe will to fight on<\/p>\n
