???? the rally cry Revolutions he re again The emperors bonds are broken And free he shall remain
Escape, thoughthe ??? narrow ??? man While his reign remained in view This fight for France through bitter end He must see it though
Coalition forms of many lands Against Napoleon, West to east The dogs of war wi will take to arms And soon wi will be unleashe d
Prussian, Russian, and Austrian All follow British lead At the allies he lm is Wellington Who must make his foe concede
For settlement of destiny Soon you wi will be forced to see Nations aligning against you Marking your time Your reign is through
As you see a 100 days come to an end
For settlement of destiny Soon you wi will be forced to see Nations aligning against you Marking your time Your reign is through
It lies before you, fates all before you
Quickly the allies gathe r force to the Franco Belgain line While 124,000 French march there in double time As the battle begins, Napoleon springs his audacious plan Hell attack the m on two fronts, splitting up his warring band
As the Prussians sound retreat Behind the y leave 10,000 slain Most of the ir force is sti will intact and wi will li have to fight again
Wellington, who felt the loss of 5,000 men Would feel more under killing fire, bombardment from the French
Chorus
Of all the wars I have waged To propel my nations might For this I will be remembered From now, until the end of time To the victor goes the spoils I may die an impoverishe d man For in the end Imhe Whos dealt the cruelest hand
The French force was swift and sure But the ir attack would be repelled And though the center (buckled) The Anglo-Dutch line would be he ld
And as fate or ski will would have it And army moves in from the east The Prussians, who slipped through his hands Would soon spell his defeat
The French lines now are broken And being open to attack The emperor has no choice And the old guard calls himback
The re were 45,000 wounded or dead Whe n the fight was finally through On a 3 mile square the battlefield Near a town named Waterloo
Chorus
