We were young and bound for glory Itchin' for a fight like you Bringin' hell and purgatory To the boys who wore the blue And I thought I'd seen it all Till the day night wouldn't fall Oh, how the sun did blaze Wouldn't go down for days I got shot and lost my rifle When the first wave hit the rise And the guns rolled out like thunder And the black smoke burned my eyes And I watched it all unfold Just the way the Bible told Joshua's endless day Keepin' the night at bay And the soldiers kept a comin' Til the ground looked like a sea Of blue and grey And I watched it from a distance Wonderin' if I would've fought or run away The day the sun stood still How they beat the bloody drums And the seconds moved like hours But the sunset never comes And the cannons shake the ground And the bullets test your will Even shadows found no cover On that Godforsaken hill The day the sun stood still And I watched them lean their shoulders To the fearful hail of lead And I prayed for night to save us And I cried and bowed my head Bt the sun just kept a-creepin' 'Cross a cold indifferent sky Castin' a deadly glow On all the men below All the hours in a lifetime Don't add up to one while minute in that sun And the heroes and the cowards Look the same when they have fallen by the gun The day the sun stood still And the north and south looked west But the evening star was sleeping And the daylight wouldn't rest Out on the killing floor The red sun on the the hill Shinin' down on all the dead men With a strange and eerie chill The day the sun stood still Do not judge what you brother does Till you've walked a mile Rank by bloody file Who's to say if you'll run or stay and fight? The day the sun stood still Is just beneath the skin In the soul of every soldier Every battle that he's in The day the sun stood still Will haunt your dreams at night And stalk your every sunrise Though you will not know it till The day the sun stood still How they beat the bloody drums And the seconds moved like hours But the sunset never comes And the cannons shake the ground And the bullets test your will Even shadows found no cover On that Godforsaken hill The day the sun stood still
