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
