We've paid in hell since Moscow burned
|
As Cossacks tear us piece by piece
|
Our dead are strewn a hundred leagues
|
Though death would be a sweet release
|
And our grande arm?e is dressed in rags
|
A frozen starving beggar band
|
Like rats we steal each other's scraps
|
Fall to fighting hand to hand
|
|
Save my soul from evil, Lord
|
And heal this soldier's heart
|
I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord
|
I'm done with Bonaparte
|
|
What dreams he made for us to dream
|
Spanish skies, Egyptian sands
|
The world was ours, we marched upon
|
Our little Corporal's command
|
And I lost an eye at Austerlitz
|
The sabre slash yet gives me pain
|
My one true love awaits me still
|
The flower of the aquitaine
|
|
Save my soul from evil, Lord
|
And heal this soldier's heart
|
I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord
|
I'm done with Bonaparte
|
|
I pray for her who prays for me
|
A safe return to my belle France
|
We prayed these wars would end all wars
|
In war we know is no romance
|
And I pray our child will never see
|
A little Corporal again
|
Point toward a foreign shore
|
Captivate the hearts of men
|
|
Save my soul from evil, Lord
|
And heal this soldier's heart
|
I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord
|
I'm done with Bonaparte
|
