Just a mile or so away
Is my dearest friend in this world.
He wears the Blue and I the Grey
And god it hurts me so
The last time we were together
I grabbed his hand and I pledged
If I ever draw my sword on you
May the good lord strike me dead.

The union flank´s in trouble
To the round top on the double
A bad decision, insubordination
Exposed our lie in a dangerous way

The burden lies upon us
Surrender is not an option
We are the flank and if we break
The union crumbles, We could lose the war!

Down below´s the carnage
The rebel´s charging onward
Push the slaughter forward, the peach orchard.
Through the wheat field and devils den

The valour of the Texans
And Alabama´s best men
Their Unrelenting and Devastating
The last full measure of devotion´s clear.

[Chorus:]
We know what we´re made of.
When up against all odds we hold our line
For the cause that we so love
We must hold at all cost
We know what we´re made of
when our nation needs us we´ll stay the cause
for the union we so love
We must hold at all costs!

Wave after wave they´re coming
Their power must be waning!
We´re out of ammo, we can´t fall back, no!
One desperate measure, a means to end

On their next wave we charge them
There is no other option
Disconcert them, force submission
On my command, fix bayonets!

[Chorus:]
We know what we´re made of.
When up against all odds we hold our line
For the cause that we so love
We must hold at all cost
We know what we´re made of
when our nation needs us we´ll stay the cause
for the union we so love
We must hold at all costs!

[Chorus:]
We know what we´re made of.
When up against all odds we hold our line
For the cause that we so love
We must hold at all cost
We know what we´re made of
when our nation needs us we´ll stay the cause
for the union we so love
We must hold at all costs!
