Silent Reign of Heroes Lyrics & Tabs by Molly Hatchet
Silent Reign of Heroes
guitar chords lyrics
Making my way across Dixie, eighteen sixty-five
I walked all day and halfway to heaven
Now believe I'm on the other side
Day turns into night time, night time's by my side
I look to the sky, I see shining light
The stars will be my guide
The smell of gun smoke in the air
Lighting fills the sky
I heard a rebel yell just as loud as hell
You can hear it 'round the world tonight
The silent reign of heroes
Is what brings me here today
What I came to fight for, seems so far away
So far away, far away
Tell me what's the cost of freedom
Fighting for my life and family name
The devil's laughing long and hard deep in hell tonight
My feet are bleeding right through my shoes ground's as cold as ice
Sing no killer angels, can you hear my cry?
It seems like a sin when nobody wins and so many had to die
Who is right, and tell me who is wrong
Old boys come down from here to Virginia
To sing the battle song
The silent reign of heroes is what gives me strength today
Tell me what's the cost of freedom
It's so far away, far away
Fighting for our heritage, yeah
It's so far away, so far away
When I see my home and family
Then I know, I finally paid a debt
Fighting for our heritage, yeah
It's so far away, so far away
When I see my home and family
Then I know, I finally paid a debt
