The Charge -New Model Army[00:00:01]
Our history speaks in thunder from a thousand village halls[00:00:47]
In blood and sweat and sacrifice in honouring every call[00:00:51]
So the forces gathered against the thorn a-piercing in their side[00:00:55]
A brave new world is beckoning so the olden world must die [00:00:59]
In the offices of the city at all the tables of oak and power[00:01:16]
The snares are laid and baited for the approaching of the hour[00:01:20]
A hundred justifications and the presses are ready to roll[00:01:24]
The gateways to the nation they are firmly under control[00:01:27]
Ch: On on on cried the leaders at the back[00:01:31]
We went galloping down the blackened hills[00:01:34]
And into the gaping trap[00:01:37]
The bridges are burnt behind us and there's waiting guns ahead[00:01:38]
Into the valley of death rode the brave hundreds[00:01:42]
We called for some assistance from the friends that we had known[00:02:00]
But this is the 1980s and we were on our own[00:02:03]
We never felt like heroes or martyrs to a cause[00:02:07]
Just battle-weary soldiers in a bloody civil war[00:02:11]
The massacre now is over and the order new enshrined[00:02:47]
While a quarter of the nation are abandoned far behind[00:02:50]
Their leaders offer the clich words so righteous in defeat[00:02:54]
But no one needs morality when there isn't enough to eat[00:02:58]
The unity bond is broken and the loyalty songs are fake[00:03:01]
I'll screw my only brother for even a glimpse at a piece of the cake[00:03:04]
We only cry in private here behind the shuttered glass[00:03:09]
When we think of the charge of this brigade the severing of the past[00:03:12]
Ch: On on on cried the leaders at the back[00:03:16]
We went galloping down the blackened hills[00:03:19]
And into the gaping trap[00:03:21]
The bridges are burnt behind us and there's waiting guns ahead[00:03:23]
Into the valley of death rode the brave hundreds[00:03:26]
