about

This song is about the Wheatfield during the Battle of Gettysburg.

lyrics

Moving along in silent acceptance
A shallow ravine of impending doom
Blank faces, they're slightly deranged
Rushing minds, they're all alone

Oh Wheatfield Road
Oh Wheatfield Road

Faded coats of blue witness horror
Trampled beauty stains the world
Mysterious spirits quiver in gray
Forever keeping their eternal secrets

Oh Wheatfield Road
Oh Wheatfield Road

Death explodes in the quiet morning
Morning dew drips off their faces
Red waterways of dreams drift on by
Building the dam of things never to come

Oh Wheatfield Road
Oh Wheatfield Road

Rushing forward in the cloud of smoke
Lead like bees swarm 'round their head
Friends and enemies, they fall the same way
The only peace that they'll ever know

Oh Wheatfield Road
Oh Wheatfield Road
