The story of Spanish guerilla fighters in the Peninsular War and the bloody war they waged against the French. This dark and unforgiving song brings the heaviest riff-work on the album to bear to evoke a sense of rage and terror, but still boasts plenty of killer vocal hooks.

Lyrics

Far, far from the glory and fame
Where banners fly and heroes die
Fight, fight for the freedom of Spain
In the people’s eyes it is time to rise
Drive, drive the invaders away
What they took from us, they will count the cost
Stand, stand for your nation today
Till the French blood flows, till they feed the crows

Fight, make them bleed
Strike without mercy, attack and retreat
Fight for your land
For your God and your country, for King Ferdinand

I may not live to see the end
Expect no mercy and show none unto them
Partisans in bloody bands
Fight for God and Ferdinand
Fight the war that no one knows
War in the shadows

Strike, strike when they think they are safe
In the dead of night, till their troops take flight
Fear, fear, keep their armies engaged
Till Napoleon sees his plans undone
War, war makes a monster of all
But in God we trust that our cause is just
Rise, rise till they’re gone or we fall
Till the fight is done, till the war is won
