1
Usher in the rally cries
2
Revolution's here again
3
The emperor's bond's are broken
4
And free he shall remain
5
Escape, though narrow, Was demand
6
While his reign remained in view
7
This fight for France, Till bitter end
8
He must see it Through
9
Coalition forms of many lands
10
Against Napoleon, West to East
11
Dogs of war will take to arms
12
And soon will be unleashed
13
Prussian, Russian, and Austrian
14
All follow British lead
15
At allies' helm is Wellington
16
Who must make his Foe concede
17
Chorus
18
Foreshadowed man of destiny
19
Soon you will be force to see
20
Nations aligning against you
21
Marking the time your reign is through
22
...And you will see your hundred days
23
Come to an end
24
Foreshadowed man of destiny
25
Soon you will be forced to see
26
Nations aligning against you
27
Marking the time your reign is through
28
...It lies before you, fate shall befall you
29
Quickly, the allies gather force
30
Near the Franco-Belgian line
31
While 124,000 French
32
March there in double time
33
As the battle begins
34
Napoleon springs his audacious plan
35
He'll attack them on two fronts
36
Splitting up his warring Band
37
As the Prussians sound retreat
38
Behind they leave 12,000 slain
39
Most of their force is still in tact
40
And will live to fight again
41
Wellington, Who felt the loss of 5,000 men
42
Would feel more under cannon fire
43
Bombardment from the French
44
Repeat Chorus
45
Bridge
46
Of all the wars I have waged
47
To propel my nations might
48
For this I'll be remembered
49
From now 'till the end of time
50
If to the victor go the spoils
51
I may die an impoverished man
52
For in the end, Irony
53
Has dealt the cruelest hand
54
The French Force was swift and sure
55
but their attack would be repelled.
56
And though their center battered
57
the Anglo-Dutch line would be held.
58
As fate or skill would have it
59
an army moves in from the east.
60
The Prussians who slipped out of his hands
61
would soon spell his defeat.
62
The French lines now are broken
63
and being open to attack.
64
The Emperor has no choice
65
and the Old Guard pulls him back
66
There were 45,000 wounded or dead
67
when the fight was finally through
68
On a three square mile battlefield
69
at a town named Waterloo.
70
Repeat Chorus
