Iced Earth - Waterloo

Waterloo

???? 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
