LYRICS
I ain’t in no need of a regiment
No fulfillment in discipline
I can walk a straight line at any time
The ability of agility… no religion
Chorus
97th Regiment
In honor of the dead
I thought we meant for a moment
Dead was something to dread?
During the war of rebellion
Son agin’ son to hell and back again
No will to be civil in war (at war)
Killin’s ill… that’s for sure
A monument to the dead
Made of stone not flesh and blood
Spilling wine and breaking bread
Bringing on the onslaught flood
