We've pF#maid in hell since Moscow burned
As CAossacks tear us piece by piece
Our dEead are strewn a hundred leagues
Though dDeath would be a sweet release
And our grF#mande armee is dressed in rags
A frAozen starving beggar band
Like rEats we steal each other's scraps
FDall to fighting hEand to handA  
SDave my soul from evil, Lord
And hAeal this soldier's hF#meart
I'll trAust in thee to kBmeep me, Lord

What dF#mreams he made for us to dream
SApanish skies, Egyptian sands
The wEorld was ours, we marched upon
Our lDittle Corporal's command
And I lF#most an eye at Austerlitz
The sAabre slash yet gives me pain
My oEne true love awaits me still
The flDower of the EaquitaineA  
SDave my soul from evil, Lord

We pErayed these wars would end all wars
In Dwar we know is no romance
And I pF#mray our child will never see
A lAittle Corporal again
PoinEt toward a foreign shore
CDaptivate the hEearts of menA  
SDave my soul from evil, Lord

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

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

A safe return to my belle France

We prayed these wars would end all wars

In war we know is no romance

A little Corporal again

Point toward a foreign shore

Captivate the hearts of men

Save my soul from evil, Lord
