We Stand Aligned

(Ney)

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

(Napoleon)

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

(Bülow)

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

(Ziehthen)

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

(Wellington)

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

(Bülow)

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

(Bülow)

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
