CRYSTALLION LYRICS

1. Cloak And Dagger

2. The Sleeping Giant

The first of March, I'm back again, it's 1815
Louis tries to claim my rights, just a fact I have foreseen
One by one my army grows as we march towards Paris
The king has fled, we're gathered here, our victory it is

Now I'm back on the throne of France
The royalists are on defence
Fight, brothers we fight
Raise my flag on sacred ground
Take the crown and sing out loud
You my children, my country, my pride

Now the time has come to make the world all your own
You're never alone
See, see what they've done, in this one moment of hope
Still we stand here unbent and defiant
He's awakened: the sleeping giant

The Allies wanna end my reign with fire, sword and shield
150.000 men they put into the field
But still I'm yearning
The world is burning down
Our fate is turning
They've declared me an outlaw again

Now the time has come to make the world all your own
You're never alone
See, see what they've done, in this one moment of hope
Still we stand here unbent and defiant
He's awakened: the sleeping giant

Join our forces, be our men
Fight the good fight, stand aligned till the end
For our land
Lead and powder, keep it dry
March to Belgium, through the night we will fly
They will die

Now the time has come to make the world all your own
You're never alone
See, see what they've done, in this one moment of hope
Still we stand here unbent and defiant
He's awakened: the sleeping giant

3. A Cry In The Night

Headless, a dark fate lies ahead
Compounding the unknown
No doubt, the madman must be dead
Wherever he may roam

Watch out, what evil do you hide
Behind your masquerade
Welcome, the ball opens tonight
And still it's not too late

Join the armies of Arthur
We will answer the call
Soldiers stand for departure
Bring the Frenchmen to fall

A cry in the night, comes straight from the heart
So far from the light that scares off the dark
A cry in the night, a voice in the black
There's nowhere to hide, we're under attack
A cry in the night

Madness, Napoleon's back again
He tries to rule the world
Face them, at Ligny it will end
Our voices can be heard
Join the armies of Arthur
We will answer the call
Soldiers stand for departure
Bring the Frenchmen to fall

A cry in the night, comes straight from the heart
So far from the light that scares off the dark
A cry in the night, a voice in the black
There's nowhere to hide, we're under attack
A cry in the night

4. Sole Survivors In Ligny

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

5. Nations Falling

And another battle won, decision is now overdue
The Prussians cowardly retreat will not save their souls, they're bound to fall
Grouchy will chase them all the way to seal their destiny, they won't prevail
Our nation, I know, glorious will be, Napoleon standing tall for all to see, tall for all to see

Fight! Our army's weak
Now! Bravest soldiers though
Right! The Prussians on our side
Run! We will strike a blow
For them! Beginning of the end
Down! The French don't know our plans
Rule! At the elm tree I'll command
All! Fight with dignity

Fight with dignity for all of us!

He will go down into the fire
What keeps us strong is our desire
To be free, we will aspire
He's flying high, we're flying higher

Nations falling
Nations falling
Death is calling
At Waterloo they're falling

Shine! Today the sun will rise
Mine! For those who shall succeed
Here! A field of consequence
Now! For those who face defeat
Rise! The coalition troops
Attack! Must not falter, no
Stand! Keep on fighting now
Prevail! Our freedom to defend

Our freedom we all will defend!

Waterloo seems to be the place
Where we will win this epic battle
Waterloo, sight of giant's race
The Frenchman finally will be falling

Nations falling
Nations falling
Death is calling
At Waterloo they're falling

6. Hougoumont

I can't see what is going n
On these fields here where I belong
Riders tell me what's going on
Will we soon hear our victory song

Rumour has it they're coming soon
My own brother has told me so
Oh Jerome onward you will go
While Grouchy drives the Prussians away

The splendour of France

I don't fear Wellington
This battle will be won
We'll prevail and his bad English troops we'll defeat - today!

First attack shall be Hougoumont
Their reserves will be overrun
Later on we will separate
English troops from the Prussian ones

Now the house stands in flames
My battalions will tear down the walls
Seems like Wellington's strong, won't give in - we shall see

I don't fear Wellington
This battle will be won
We'll prevail and his bad English troops we'll defeat - today!

7. Under Heavy Fire

The sound of guns
Shall draw you near
No way, my orders have been clear

Wait for them to come, they will be crushed
No mercy from our side
Withdrawing to the sunken lane for now
Cuirassiers are caught it seems the enemy is gaining ground
Can't give in to Somerset's brigade

Under heavy fire, our prospects dire
Answer charge by a counter-attack
All my infantry, proudly fight for me
Must be quick or our foes will prevail

See their retreat
Our steel they'll meet
Right now our cavalry we need

Squares to be protected
Our artillery will do the rest
Trampling hooves won't do us any harm
The French they are not close enough
The Dutch are fighting on our side
At Mont St Jean ridge they're bound to fall

Under heavy fire, our prospects dire
Answer charge by a counter-attack
All my infantry, proudly fight for me
Must be quick or our foes will prevail

8. We Stand Aligned

Ride all your horses till we see the night
On this battlefield we will be shining bright
Crush these damn squares, fight with all of our might
On this day let me say, there's just black and white

Now also Prussians have finally arrived
Joining forces they are, now it's getting tight
Young Guard won't last till the darkness of night
My Old Guard now shall be the last shining light

All of these men bravest of all the brave
Could it be over today

Stand aligned - as one man we fight the French
Stand aligned - we're not falling here today
Stand aligned - over dusty roads we ride
Stand aligned - seeds of peace we now sow

See their confusion they finally retreat
They are fleeing but it's just death they'll meet
Now we are here on their road of retreat
The last hope that they had, now enemy bleed

Now last resort his Imperial Guard
Far outnumbered they are, now they've gone too far
All of our troops start the general advance
We're victorious, now let your horses prance

Exiled and beaten, a danger no more
Rejoice at what we have done

Stand aligned - as one man we fight the French
Stand aligned - we're not falling here today
Stand aligned - over dusty roads we ride
Stand aligned - seeds of peace we now sow

Joining forces for our goal
Victory on our mind
With English troops we stand aligned
The Old Guard will not bring us down
Always one step behind
While on our side we stand aligned

9. Hundred Days

It's the end we've lost it all
There's no chance for us to break these walls
On this battleground we fall
Plancenoit lost our foes are standing tall

We will never get out of this war alive - no surrender
They will never get out of this war alive

No more soldiers left to fall
Bravest men followed the nation's call
What I did I did for France
I have failed there is no second chance

I will never make it to the new world's shores - I surrender
Captain lay me in chains I will flee no more

Send him off to the shores of the island afar
For those who have died
100 days of his tyranny come to an end
There's nowhere to hide

Rise up, we have beaten the French
A time of peace has just begun
Gone to the end of the world
Seems we've reached the end of it... all

10. The Bravest Of The Brave

I am the brave, the rider in the storm
I am the rear of the elite
Under the sign of freedom I was born
Faith is my armour, pride my shield

But I had a dream, our nation's free
The veils of death, embracing me
Inside this dream, our nation's free
Follow the call of victory

I have fought a hundred wars
I fought for France and never against
The soldiers fire, my last command
They call me brave, I will be to the grave

I saw the sunrise, I saw the rainbow in the sky
There is nothing left for me to believe
Goodbye my brothers, goodbye my friends who shared this life
All has changed now, this world I must leave

But I had a dream, our nation's free
The veils of death, embracing me
Inside this dream, our nation's free
Follow the call of victory

I have fought a hundred wars (I'm going nowhere)
I fought for France and never against (I wanna be there)
The soldiers fire, my last command (The soldiers fire)
They call me brave, I will be to the grave

Long ago our nation calls, set sails to foreign shores
With the glory of Napoleon we're bound for holy wars
Now I take my final journey to the land up in the sky
The time has come for me to say goodbye

I have fought a hundred wars (I'm going nowhere)
I fought for France and never against (I wanna be there)
The soldiers fire, my last command (The soldiers fire)
They call me brave, I will be to the grave

I have fought a hundred wars (I'm burning, I'm dying, I'm going nowhere)
I fought for France and never against (I'm yearning, I'm flying, I wanna be there)
The soldiers fire, my last command (The soldiers fire)
They call me brave, I will be to the grave
