Usher in the rally cries |
| [00:38.26] |
Revolution's here again |
| [00:41.90] |
The emperor's bonds are broken |
| [00:44.28] |
And free he shall remain |
| [00:47.00] |
Escape though narrow, was demand |
| [00:49.99] |
While his reign remained in view |
| [00:52.57] |
This fight for France, till bitter end |
| [00:55.88] |
He must see it through |
| [00:58.92] |
Coalition forms of many lands |
| [01:01.98] |
Against Napoleon, west to east |
| [01:04.75] |
Dogs of war will take to arms |
| [01:07.93] |
And soon will be unleashed |
| [01:10.78] |
Prussian, Russian and Austrian |
| [01:13.57] |
All follow British lead |
| [01:16.82] |
At allies' helm is Wellington |
| [01:19.49] |
Who must make his Foe concede |
| [01:22.14] |
Foreshadowed man of destiny |
| [01:26.38] |
Soon you will be force to see |
| [01:29.02] |
Nations aligning against you |
| [01:31.72] |
Marking the time your reign is through |
| [01:34.26] |
And you will see your hundred days come to an end |
| [01:40.43] |
Foreshadowed man of destiny |
| [01:43.39] |
Soon you will be forced to see |
| [01:46.99] |
Nations aligning against you |
| [01:49.45] |
Marking the time your reign is through |
| [01:51.94] |
It lies before you, fate shall befall you |
| [01:58.39] |
Quickly, the allies gather force |
| [02:01.06] |
Near the Franco-Belgian line |
| [02:03.79] |
While 124,000 French |
| [02:07.22] |
March there in double time |
| [02:10.01] |
As the battle begins |
| [02:11.70] |
Napoleon springs his audacious plan |
| [02:15.81] |
He'll attack them on two fronts |
| [02:18.97] |
Splitting up his warring Band |
| [02:21.67] |
As the Prussians sound retreat |
| [02:23.94] |
Behind they leave 12,000 slain |
| [02:28.33] |
Most of their force is still in tact |
| [02:30.79] |
And will live to fight again |
| [02:33.78] |
Wellington |
| [02:35.27] |
Who felt the loss of 5,000 men |
| [02:39.59] |
Would feel more under cannon fire bombardment from the French |
| [02:45.62] |
Foreshadowed man of destiny |
| [02:48.81] |
Soon you will be force to see |
| [02:51.75] |
Nations aligning against you |
| [02:54.61] |
Marking the time your reign is through |
| [02:57.47] |
And you will see your hundred days come to an end |
| [03:03.36] |
Foreshadowed man of destiny |
| [03:06.89] |
Soon you will be forced to see |
| [03:09.54] |
Nations aligning against you |
| [03:12.44] |
Marking the time your reign is through |
| [03:15.03] |
It lies before you, fate shall befall you |
| [03:38.95] |
Of all the wars I have waged |
| [03:41.96] |
To propel my nations might |
| [03:44.51] |
For this I'll be remembered |
| [03:47.72] |
From now 'till the end of time |
| [03:50.91] |
If to the victor go the spoils |
| [03:53.46] |
I may die an impoverished man |
| [03:56.41] |
For in the end, irony |
| [03:59.79] |
Has dealt the cruelest hand |
| [04:02.51] |
The French Force was swift and sure |
| [04:05.35] |
But their attack would be repelled |
| [04:08.33] |
And though their center battered |
| [04:11.30] |
The Anglo-Dutch line would be held |
| [04:14.54] |
As fate or skill would have it |
| [04:17.35] |
An army moves in from the east |
| [04:20.52] |
The Prussians who slipped out of his hands |
| [04:23.38] |
Would soon spell his defeat |
| [04:26.15] |
The French lines now are broken |
| [04:29.03] |
And being open to attack |
| [04:32.44] |
The Emperor has no choice |
| [04:34.94] |
And the Old Guard pulls him back |
| [04:38.20] |
There were 45,000 wounded or dead |
| [04:41.08] |
When the fight was finally through |
| [04:44.16] |
On a three square mile battlefield |
| [04:47.22] |
At a town named Waterloo |
| [04:49.98] |
Foreshadowed man of destiny |
| [04:53.23] |
Soon you will be force to see |
| [04:56.35] |
Nations aligning against you |
| [04:59.10] |
Marking the time your reign is through |
| [05:01.97] |
And you will see your hundred days come to an end |
| [05:08.08] |
Foreshadowed man of destiny |
| [05:11.04] |
Soon you will be forced to see |
| [05:14.16] |
Nations aligning against you |
| [05:16.90] |
Marking the time your reign is through |
| [05:19.30] |
It lies before you, fate shall befall you |
