Sole Survivors In Ligny lyrics

Now he is leaving and we re on our own
Soldiers of Prussia will conquer the throne
From the windmill of Brye I will see how they die
And when Europe is freed yeah the Frenchmen will bleed

Ney cannot help him he s too far away
Is this the reason for Napoleon s delay
Now they move to attack, no mistake we must make
For our freedom we fight, strike with all of our might

I - hear the canons from afar
Mine - is Ligny and Quatre Bras

The Prussian troops are giving way - no retreat
They must face their defeat
Before the night falls we will be - we will be
Sole survivors in Ligny

His own intervention will not save their lives
Ligny s on fire, more artillery arrives
One last counter-attack we have now driven back
It s Gerard and the Guard who are hitting them hard

Die - for a realm that s doomed to fail
I - am the one that they will hail

The Prussian troops are giving way - no retreat
They must face their defeat
Before the night falls we will be - we will be
Sole survivors in Ligny

A shot at his horse sent him down to the ground
Buried by his own beast in the mud
Injured and reeling he s borne from the field
Their offensive now under control
