We've paid in hell since Moscow burned
    
As Cossacks tear us piece by piece
     
Our dead are strewn a hundred leagues
        
Though death would be a sweet release
          
And our grande armee is dressed in rags
    
A frozen starving beggar band
      
Like rats we steal each other's scraps
                               
Fall to fighting hand to hand

 
Save my soul from evil, Lord
                        
And heal this soldier's heart
                           
I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord
                           
I'm done with Bonaparte

What dreams he made for us to dream
     
Spanish skies, Egyptian sands
       
The world was ours, we marched upon
      
Our little Corporal's command
      
And I lost an eye at Austerlitz
     
The sabre slash yet gives me pain
    
My one true love awaits me still
                           
The flower of the aquitaine

 
Save my soul from evil, Lord
                        
And heal this soldier's heart
                           
I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord
                           
I'm done with Bonaparte

I pray for her who prays for me
   
A safe return to my belle France
      
We prayed these wars would end all wars
    
In war we know is no romance
       
And I pray our child will never see
    
A little Corporal again
 
Point toward a foreign shore
                            
Captivate the hearts of men

 
Save my soul from evil, Lord
                        
And heal this soldier's heart
                           
I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord
                           
I'm done with Bonaparte
