[00:35.38] |
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 |
