lyrics

The oozing steam of blood and fire
Fill with grimness every fall of Chickamauga
The pounding hooves of a thousand chargers
Dully rumble
Like a distant growl
As if the battle had never been stopped
For fifty thousands of those drafted suckers
Thrashing their kinsmen in a fratricide war
On the wooded banks of an Indian legend
Dressed in blue or dressed in grey
The poor devils have on both sides
Hand in hand manured the soil of Georgia
And shed their lives in Chickamauga Creek
At the feet of the mountains
Flows the River of Blood
A paleface blood
Meeting an Indian word
When the sky clouds over
The end of summer
Indian hymns and battle songs
Rise side by side from the River of Blood.

Près de 200 concerts boostés à l'adrénaline punk-folk multilingue du groupe où la bonne humeur générale était au rendez-vous. Des ballons et des rouleaux de PQ en guise de guirlandes... Ils ont paratgé la scène de groupes tels que UK Subs, Pigalle, PPz 30, Marcel et son Orchestre, Barking Dogs, etc ... more
