※ 引述《bghead (大頭)》之銘言：
: 他們在打贏仗之後
: 全連在車上唱的那首歌
: 有人知道那是什麼歌嗎??
: Glory glory what hell 啥咪碗糕的
: 旋律蠻熟的
第九集裏面那首叫 "The Battle Hymn of The Republic" 。
這是一首古老的愛國歌曲，源自美國南北戰爭時代。
這首歌對美國人是很重要的，不久之前還可以在 911 的紀念
場合中聽到。（另一首更常聽到的 "God Bless America" 年
代則要近得多。）
我是覺得這首歌除了歌詞比較 "古典" 之外，似乎 "殺氣" 也
比較重。而 God Bless America 則比較感性。
對於某些年紀以上的人，小時唱過 "團結就是力量" 的曲子
就是來自於此。
下面是它的簡介：
The tune was originally a camp-meeting hymn "Oh brothers,
will you meet us on Canaan's happy shore?" It evolved into
"John Brown's Body". Then in 1861 Julia Ward Howe, wife of
a government official, wrote a poem for Atlantic Monthly for
five dollars. The magazine called it, Battle Hymn of the
Republic. The music may be by William Steffe.
所以它原本是一首露營時候唱的歌，被 Julia Ward Howe 女士
改寫而成。作者照片請看 http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/b/h/bhymnotr.htm
下面是歌詞：
Mine eyes have seen the glory
Of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage
Where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning
Of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
Chorus
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watchfires
Of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar
In the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence
By the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on.
Chorus
I have read a fiery gospel writ
In burnished rows of steel:
"As ye deal with My contemners,
So with you My grace shall deal":
Let the Hero born of woman
Crush the serpent with His heel,
Since God is marching on.
Chorus
He has sounded forth the trumpet
That shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men
Before His judgement seat;
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him;
Be jubilant, my feet;
Our God is marching on.
Chorus
In the beauty of the lilies
Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom
That transfigures you and me;
As He died to make men holy,
Let us die to make men free;
While God is marching on.
Chorus
