The battle began at six a.m.
The warring parties made plans for blood that day
And it was a war like never seen before
Brother against brother with rifles and with swords
Blue & Gray were the only colors that day
Even though the sky was black and the sun had faded away
The first shots they rang out, battle cries sang aloud
Wounded men dropped to their knees and they stared into death's eyes
And there were

Red dandelions on the battle lines
They were tainted by the blood of your fathers and mine
Yes there were red dandelions on the battle lines
An eye for an eye only makes us all blind
Makes us all blind

Night closed in and the soldiers stoked their fires
Hungry and homesick of fighting they'd grown tired
Til a fiddle player played, the men they sat still
And the enemy gathered round the fire and forgot how to kill
In the morning they awoke to the familiar smell of gun smoke
And the fiddler was shot, and he was left alone to choke
The intensity had grown, the reason was well-known
It was not 'cause of hatred, they just wanted to go home
Cause there were

Red dandelions on the battle lines
They were tainted by the blood of your fathers and mine
Yes there were red dandelions on the battle lines
An eye for an eye only makes us all blind
Makes us all blind

The rains they came down, drenched the soldiers to the bone
The point of all this bloodshed they accepted not as their own
Their cities they were burned, the lesson taught the lesson learned
That freedom isn't a gift, but a privilege to be earned
The rifles were laid down, no there wasn't a single sound
Except for one soft melody that echoed all around
And the only weapons raised were the fiddles that they played
And music was the maker of peace that blue and gray day

Red dandelions on the battle lines
They were tainted by the blood of your fathers and mine
Yes there were red dandelions on the battle lines
An eye for an eye only makes us all blind
Makes us all blind. Makes us all blind. Makes us all blind
