The Sleeping Giant

(Napoleon I. Of France)

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

(Imperial Guard)

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

(Napoleon I. Of France)

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

(Imperial Guard)

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

(Marshal Ney)

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

(Imperial Guard)

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
