A fittingly abrupt retelling of Wellington’s lightning victory at the Battle of Salamanca in 1812. With its furious drum and riff work and glorious lead melodies, this song pays thrilling, bombastic tribute to the unique talent of one of Britain’s greatest generals.

Lyrics

By God, that will do
End this stalemate
Marmont is exposed
There’s no time to waste

Time to seize the day
I will see this settled
Send in Pakenham
“And drive them to the Devil!”

The hammer will fall
With the power at my call
I will conquer them all

Then the day will be mine
When I will shatter their line
And the victory will shine

My masterstrike
A victory shining bright
A lightning fight
My masterstrike

Into battle now
Drive them from the hill
Charge with bayonets
Blood begins to spill

Panic starts to spread
Enter the Dragoons
Marmont’s army breaks
Fleeing from their doom
