'Cross the Green Mountain - from 'Gods and Generals' OST

I crossed the green mountain
 I slept by the stream
 Heaven blazing in my head
 I dreamt a monstrous dream
 Something came up
 Out of the sea
 Swept through the land of
 The rich and the free
 I look into the eyes
 Of my merciful friend
 And then I ask myself
 Is this the end?
 Memories linger
 Sad yet sweet
 And I think of the souls
 In heaven who will meet
 Alters are burning
 The flames far and wide
 The foe has crossed over
 From the other side
 They tip their caps
 From the top of the hill
 You can feel them come
 More brave blood do spill
 Along the dim
 Atlantic line
 The ravaged land
 Lasts for miles behind
 The lights coming forward
 And the streets are broad
 All must yield
 To the avenging God
 The world is old
 The world is grey
 Lessons of life
 Can't be learned in a day
 I watch and I wait
 And I listen while I stand
 To the music that comes
 From a far better land
 Close the eyes of our captain
 Peace may he know
 His long night is done
 The great leader is laid low
 He was ready to fall
 He was quick to defend
 Killed outright he was
 By his own men
 It's the last day's last hour
 Of the last happy year
 I feel that the unknown world is so near
 Pride will vanish
 And glory will rot
 But virtue lives
 And cannot be forgot
 The bells
 Of evening have rung
 There's blasphemy on every tongue
 Let them say that I walked
 In fair nature's light
 And that I was loyal
 To truth and to right
 Serve God and be cheerful
 Look upward beyond
 Beyond the darkness that masks
 The surprises of dawn
 In the deep green grasses
 And the blood stained woods
 They never dreamed of surrendering
 They fell where they stood
 Stars fell over Alabama
 I saw each star
 You're walking in dreams
 Whoever you are
 Chilled are the skies
 Keen is the frost
 The ground's froze hard
 And the morning is lost
 A letter to mother
 Came today
 Gunshot wound to the breast
 Is what it did say
 But he'll be better soon
 He's in a hospital bed
 But he'll never be better
 He's already dead
 I'm ten miles outside the city
 And I'm lifted away
 In an ancient light
 That is not of day
 They were calm, they were blunt
 We knew them all too well
 We loved each other more than
 We ever dared to tell
