Monocacy

from Taped Over by The Earthly Frames

about

for Private Peter Larna

lyrics

In sixty-four they stopped Early as to take one for the team
When they pulled out to Baltimore it weren’t the loss it seemed

Now, the hollow it follows me while driving past those monuments. Us NJ boys lead astray, here we are the occupants.
Trumped up flags, buck’d and gagged, some corn for acknowledgement

We are holed up at Best’s, buying us some time
All those after me, I tried my best to buy you time

Across the street from the county seat, Lee asks them to pay the ransom. Rebs are back, red hats attack, now confused about the anthem

All those after me, I tried my best to buy you time
To those at Araby, try your best to hold the line

Don’t know where this going, but it’s going nowhere good
Virtue delayed a day like Monocacy withstood

All I can hope for at best is to buy you time
All those after me, I tried my best to buy you time
