The Charge

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]
