mouth of the civil war, gaping and bloody
I'm trudging along the length of its body
all I've got is a canteen dripping with black ink
I've tatted it's tongue with the shape of my black drink
it's dandy--shenandoah, river valley
dandy--shenandoah, river valley
scar of a masquerade
marred with a muddy blade and cauterized with a flame
thought it was over now, worked its way out somehow
flesh still taut but our ignorance remains
ain't it handy?
shenandoah, river valley
handy!
and han, you are a pawn
your legacy will go on
but han, eat all you want you're fine
cause han this body's been on the front-line
yeah han, eat all you want of mine
cause yes, I was guilty too one time
there's a cradle where it all started-
fuzz-headed, softhearted
seed of a dark thing, feed on my dark drink
stonewall, he parted bones
well he disregarded
han there-sockets-rockets-red-glare
ain't it easy?
shenandoah, river valley
easy.
shenandoah, share us some peace
