The Charge - New Model Army[00:00:04]

Our history speaks in thunder[00:00:10]

From a thousand village halls[00:00:12]

In blood and sweat and sacrifice [00:00:14]

In honouring every call[00:00:16]

So the forces gathered against[00:00:17]

The thorn a-piercing in their side[00:00:19]

A brave new world is beckoning[00:00:21]

So the olden world must die [00:00:22]

In the offices of the city [00:00:38]

At all the tables of oak and power[00:00:39]

The snares are laid and baited[00:00:42]

For the approaching of the hour[00:00:43]

A hundred justifications[00:00:45]

And the presses are ready to roll[00:00:46]

The gateways to the nation[00:00:48]

They are firmly under control[00:00:50]

On on on cried the leaders at the back[00:00:52]

We went galloping down the blackened hills[00:00:55]

And into the gaping trap[00:00:57]

The bridges are burnt behind us[00:00:59]

And there's waiting guns ahead[00:01:00]

Into the valley of death rode the brave hundreds[00:01:02]

Oh well we called for some assistance[00:01:19]

From the friends that we had known[00:01:21]

But this is the 1980s and we were on our own[00:01:23]

We never felt like heroes or martyrs to a cause[00:01:26]

Just battle-weary soldiers in a bloody civil war[00:01:30]

On on on cried the leaders at the back[00:01:33]

We went galloping down the blackened hills[00:01:37]

And into the gaping trap[00:01:39]

The bridges are burnt behind us[00:01:40]

And there's waiting guns ahead[00:01:42]

Into the valley of death rode the brave hundreds[00:01:44]

The massacre now is over[00:02:05]

And the order new enshrined[00:02:06]

While a quarter of the nation[00:02:08]

Are abandoned far behind[00:02:10]

Their leaders offer the clich words [00:02:12]

So righteous in defeat[00:02:13]

But no one needs morality[00:02:15]

When there isn't enough to eat[00:02:17]

The unity bond is broken[00:02:18]

And the loyalty songs are fake[00:02:20]

I'll screw my only brother[00:02:22]

For even a glimpse at a piece of the cake[00:02:23]

We only cry in private here[00:02:25]

Behind the shuttered glass[00:02:27]

When we think of the charge of this brigade [00:02:29]

The severing of the past[00:02:31]

On on on cried the leaders at the back[00:02:33]

We went galloping down the blackened hills[00:02:35]

And into the gaping trap[00:02:37]

The bridges are burnt behind us[00:02:39]

And there's waiting guns ahead[00:02:41]

Into the valley of death rode the brave hundreds[00:02:43]

On on on cried the leaders at the back[00:02:47]

We went galloping down the blackened hills[00:02:49]

And into the gaping trap[00:02:51]

The bridges are burnt behind us[00:02:53]

And there's waiting guns ahead[00:02:55]

Into the valley of death rode the brave hundreds[00:02:56]

On on on cried the leaders at the back[00:03:01]

We went galloping down the blackened hills[00:03:03]

And into the gaping trap[00:03:05]

The bridges are burnt behind us[00:03:07]

And there's waiting guns ahead[00:03:08]

Into the valley of death rode the brave hundreds[00:03:10]
