On this night as the rain did fall
My heart grew heavy as I heard the call
To the frontlines, they summoned me
To the frontlines, to the frontlines
The water burns as it strikes my black steed
My long sabre drawn close to me
Guns and armour ready to steal
The useless lives of those on the field

Our loyalty to the emperor is true
There's nothing this grande armée can't do
Break and divide the foe in our way
Win this battle on this day
"To the death" was whispered solemnly
But that fate will not befall me
This will not end in tragedy
We will show them no mercy

As I stare down my enemy
No, this won't be the end of me
I am going to take your life
And will will show no mercy this night
Spill the blood of my enemy
That's the ultimate goal for me
We're going to take your lives
And we will show no mercy this night

The gods mount up to each high heel
Imperial guard will make them kneel
Grognards already on the scene
A hammer blow to a shaken enemy
As we charge into the fray
Artillery lights our way
Our gallop steady with each crushing blast
Grenadiers on the move at last
