zack jolet – blood in the river كلمات اغاني
my father was from liblar
he dreamed of living free
when the rebellion failed in ’48
my family had to leave
we settled in the new world
in new braunfels town
when my family went to the river
i wouldn’t swim, too scared to drown
my father taught me early
that slavery was sin
and when the war erupted
i hoped the north would win
we were seen as foreign agents
by our neighbors and our friends
and it soon became clear that
our time in texas had to end
we packed up what we could
fled in the dead of night
but the confederates pursued us
itching for a fight
some of us were rebels
some of us were not
but as far as the men in grey suits cared
all were in on the plot
we fought as best we could
to protect our kin
but their force was overwhelming
we knew we couldn’t win
blood in the river
and some of it was mine
and as i drowned i took my last
look at that texas sky
today there stands a monument
“loyalty” it says
but loyalty means little
to so many dead
so if you wish to honor us
and that which we believed
lay down the sword and break the chain
create a world that’s free
