John Wilkes Booth Lyrics by SuperSmashBros123

People Of The Civil War

2024

(Verse 1)
In the shadow of history's stage
Stands a man with vengeance and rage
John Wilkes Booth, with a plan to kill
A shot heard 'round the world, silence to fill
(Pre-Chorus)
A broken heart, a lost cause
A nation torn by civil wars
He took matters in his own hands
To change the course of history's sands
(Chorus)
Oh, John Wilkes Booth
What made you shoot?
A legacy stained with blood
Forever misunderstood
(Verse 2)
In the theater, on that fateful night
He struck a blow against the light
A desperate act, a final stand
But in the end, was it all planned?
(Pre-Chorus)
A moment's fame, a lifetime's shame
His deed forever etched in flame
An actor turned assassin's blade
A tragic story never to fade
(Chorus)
Oh, John Wilkes Booth
What drove you to the truth?
A man of contradictions
Lost in a war of convictions
(Bridge)
In the echoes of history's cry
A man condemned to live or die
But in the end, what did he achieve?
A tale of sorrow, hard to believe
(Chorus)
Oh, John Wilkes Booth
A man of infamy, uncouth
Forever marked by his crime
A villain in the sands of time
(Outro)
John Wilkes Booth, a name to remember
In the annals of history's ember
A tragic figure, a troubled soul
In the end, what was his real goal?
