From the recording Forlorn Hope
The rise and conquests of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Lyrics
(Intro - instrumental)
Verse 1:
Out of the flames of revolution
Comes a man to change the world
Artilleryman, resolved to make his country great again
And so the continent will burn
(Interlude - instrumental)
Verse 2:
Out of the chaos comes a leader
A man like no one’s seen before
His Marshalls by his side, he’ll bring the nation victory
A dozen years of brutal war
(Pre-chorus - instrumental)
Chorus:
My eagles will fly
Oppose me and die
To conquer is my destiny
Their armies will fall
The Emperor of all
I’ll bring all of Europe to its knees
Vive L’Empereur
Vive L’Empereur
Vive L’Empereur
Vive L’Empereur
Verse 2:
They come on in a mighty column
A golden eagle overhead
The drummers sound the pas de charge to drive the soldiers on
The fields of Europe turn to red
(Pre-chorus - instrumental)
(Chorus)
(Solo - instrumental)
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
