The Charge (Live) - New Model Army[00:00:00]
Our history speaks in thunder[00:00:30]
From a thousand village halls[00:00:32]
In blood and sweat and sacrifice [00:00:34]
In honouring every call[00:00:36]
So the forces gathered against[00:00:38]
The thorn a-piercing in their side[00:00:40]
A brave new world is beckoning[00:00:42]
So the olden world must die [00:00:43]
In the offices of the city [00:01:00]
At all the tables of oak and power[00:01:02]
The snares are laid and baited[00:01:04]
For the approaching of the hour[00:01:05]
A hundred justifications[00:01:07]
And the presses are ready to roll[00:01:09]
The gateways to the nation[00:01:11]
They are firmly under control[00:01:13]
On on on cried the leaders at the back[00:01:15]
We went galloping down the blackened hills[00:01:18]
And into the gaping trap[00:01:20]
The bridges are burnt behind us[00:01:22]
And there's waiting guns ahead[00:01:23]
Into the valley of death[00:01:26]
Rode the brave hundreds[00:01:28]
We called for some assistance[00:01:44]
From the friends that we had known[00:01:46]
But this is the 1980s[00:01:48]
And we were on our own[00:01:50]
We never felt like heroes[00:01:51]
Or martyrs to a cause[00:01:53]
Just battle-weary soldiers[00:01:55]
In a bloody civil war[00:01:57]
On on on cried[00:01:59]
The leaders at the back[00:02:01]
We went galloping[00:02:02]
Down the blackened hills[00:02:03]
And into the gaping trap[00:02:04]
The bridges are burnt behind us[00:02:06]
And there's waiting guns ahead[00:02:08]
Into the valley of death[00:02:10]
Rode the brave hundreds[00:02:12]
The massacre now is over[00:02:33]
And the order new enshrined[00:02:34]
While a quarter of the nation[00:02:36]
Are abandoned far behind[00:02:37]
Their leaders offer the cliché words [00:02:39]
So righteous in defeat[00:02:41]
But no one needs morality[00:02:43]
When there isn't enough to eat[00:02:44]
The unity bond is broken and[00:02:46]
The loyalty songs are fake[00:02:48]
I'll screw my only brother for even a[00:02:50]
Glimpse at a piece of the cake[00:02:52]
We only cry in private here[00:02:53]
Behind the shuttered glass[00:02:55]
When we think of the[00:02:57]
Charge of this brigade [00:02:58]
The severing of the past[00:02:59]
On on on cried[00:03:01]
The leaders at the back[00:03:02]
We went galloping[00:03:04]
Down the blackened hills[00:03:05]
And into the gaping trap[00:03:06]
The bridges are burnt behind us[00:03:08]
And there's waiting guns ahead[00:03:10]
Into the valley of death[00:03:12]
On on on cried[00:03:15]
The leaders at the back[00:03:17]
We went galloping[00:03:19]
Down the blackened hills[00:03:20]
And into the gaping trap[00:03:21]
The bridges are burnt behind us[00:03:22]
And there's waiting guns ahead[00:03:24]
Into the valley of death[00:03:26]
Rode the brave hundreds[00:03:29]
On on on cried[00:03:31]
The leaders at the back[00:03:31]
We went galloping[00:03:33]
Down the blackened hills[00:03:34]
And into the gaping trap[00:03:35]
The bridges are burnt behind us[00:03:37]
And there's waiting guns ahead[00:03:39]
Into the valley of death[00:03:41]
