There's a picture that's faded  
And blurry but it's you 
You were tall, long-legged 
And just twenty two 
With a helmet that hid 
Your eyes from the sun 
Meant to keep your mind from all harm
Thirty-eight steel and still
Through the trees they march to the hill
The hill seemed a mountain taken by storm 
With brothers some older some younger some gone 
Two battles were fought over something for nothing
On the hill that nobody won

Thirty-eight steel and still
Through the trees they march to the hill
There nineteen steel statues 
And some look like you 
Larger than life so it seems and it's true 
A wall carved with faces 
Of friends you once knew
Close to the Rail Splitter's throne

Thirty-eight steel and still
Through the trees they march to the hill

A hat spun in black with ribbons and pins
An hourglass that shows where you're from 
Where you've been 
A medal that's pulled from a fence of barbed wire 
That split the North from the South 
Thirty-eight steel and still
Through the trees they march to the hill
There's a picture that's faded and blurry
It was you
You were tall, long-legged
And just twenty-two
