I couldn't concentrate to learn more about it, but it sounds like the lyrics were from a civil war poem.  I like the discussion of using poetry to make music as opposed to all the rules of lyric writing.  But taking the conversation to another website won't work for me, can you make your point here in writing?
The music was from the Alex Harvey Band (1972-1978), and he took a stanza from the 19th century Civil War poem titled Barbara Frietchie (written by John Greenleaf Whittier).

I look at a lot of different poems in the video, with one even going back to the 14th Century. But sorry, trying to put it all into writing would be a bit too much for me.
