My nation had suffered loss and war, and instability I rallied her bloom of youth to march along with me Our drums and cannons thundering great victories we'd gain And I suffered with my armies on the barren Russian plain But England I never thought, could be my own downfall For now the French empire was great and they were small But they threw me back in Spain and then we met at Waterloo Let my lonely death in exile serve a grim warning to you. And if my story's not enough, let Germany remind. For another lowly soldier who had conquest on his mind He dreamed of glory and rebirth, in my France he was detained As a prisoner of war dark thoughts his soul with hate was stained He rallied the bloom of youth to follow at his hand With hatred and with anger he conquered many a land With weapons of cold science and with ancient bigotry He murdered millions of good folk, to blacken history Though he seemed unstoppable he met his own downfall The world rose up and put him down, heeding justice's call He met an obscene bloody death in his bunker underground And the world rejoiced at the news for justice would rebound Now you, a son of privilege a wastrel in your youth With dreams of family glory, obscuring simple truth You took your nation's reins in hand, without democracy The theft of an election in this the land of liberty Your land was divided till a bloody fearful day When twenty five criminals for vengeance they did lay low the lives of thousands, in one evil bloody act You took advantage on this pain, other nations to attack You hide a craven coward, you could never lead like me At the head of my army, and among my infantry You send the bloom of youth to foreign lands to kill and die Your privileged class to profit while you lead under a lie I hope your dreams are haunted by Saint Helena's lonely shore I hope you find the courage to stop the crime of your war I pray the world will not demand the downfall of your land For following your lies into this vane glorious stand. |
