Lyrics:

I slept and I dreamt of a time long ago
I saw an army of rebels dancing on air
I dreamed as I slept, I could see the campfires
A song of the battle, that was born of the flames
And the rebels were waltzing on the air

I danced with a girl to the tune of a waltz
That was written to be danced on the battlefield
I danced to the tune of the voice of a girl
A voice that called, "Stand till we fall
Stand till all the boys fall."

As we danced came the news that the war could not be won
Five armies were coming, with carriage and gun
Through the heart of the camp
Swept the news from the front
A cloud crossed the moon, a child cried for food
We knew the war could not be won

So we danced to the rhythm, the rhythm of the gun
In a glade through the trees I saw my only one
And the earth seemed to rise hell hot as the sun
The soldiers were dying, there was a tune in their sighing
The song was an old rebel one

Then the smoke of our hopes rose high from the fields
My eyes played tricks through the moon and the trees
I slept and I dreamt that I saw the armies rise
A voice began to call, stand till you fall
The song was an old rebel one
