Lyrics
Wellington is on the move
Wellington is advancing in motion.
(this time you may not succeed)
There's doubt about the success this time.
And I have been refused
I've been rejected or denied.
(count the cards, one joker missing)
An unexpected element is missing.
We try as in the old days
We attempt things as we did in the past.
Failure is something that you choose
Failure is a chosen outcome.
I defy the world around me
I resist the world surrounding me.
I deny the chance is dying
I refuse to accept that opportunity is fading.
Into the sea of bayonets
Entering a perilous situation where conflict and danger are prevalent.
Where I'm at home, where I belong
This place feels familiar and appropriate.
Into the sea of bayonets
Attempting to return to this hazardous environment peacefully.
I try to peacefully return
Striving to come back without confrontation.
PRussians coming from the west
Prussian forces approaching from the western direction.
(drive a wedge in between now)
Attempting to create division or conflict among them.
Keep the weak from growing strong
Preventing the weak from gaining strength.
(there's a chance, one chance in hell)
A slim possibility exists, even in dire circumstances.
They'll face the bravest of the brave
They will face the most courageous soldiers.
Marshal Ney will turn the tide
Mention of Marshal Ney influencing the outcome.
We hear the batteries are crashing down
Reports of artillery fire intensifying.
Push the skirmishers away and
Ordering to clear the peripheral fighters and
Break for center
Focus efforts on the central target.
(Into the dark) the second division
Second division moving into darkness.
(Into the bleak) slowing burn -
Slowly succumbing to a harsh reality.
More for the slaughter
More soldiers sacrificed in battle.
And from the left Jerome is
Jerome engaged in combat from the left side.
Killing in the woods
Engaged in lethal combat within the wooded area.
Before the crossroad's taken I
Anticipating a decisive action before a critical juncture.
Will be the light
Aspiring to bring illumination and guidance.
A thunder louder than the mind can even take
A deafening noise surpassing human comprehension.
A shock which pierces deep
An impact that penetrates profoundly.
Into the shallow heart
Reaching deep into the superficially affected emotions.
