Artista: Mark Knopfler We're paying hell since Moscow burned These Cossacks tear us piece by piece Our dead are strewn a hundred leagues Though death would be a sweet release And our grande armeé is dressed in rags A frozen, starving, beggar-band Like rats, we steal each other's scraps We 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. Oh, the word was ours, we marched upon Our Little Corporal's commands And I lost an eye at Austerlitz The sabre's slash yet give 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
