At the Gates of Waterloo [Napoleon]

CUSTOM

[Intro] Hear the thunder, feel the ground A fallen crown, a kingdom bound Across the fields, the eagles rise One final dawn beneath the skies [Verse] From Corsican shores to a throne of gold I carved my name where empires unfold Through fire and steel, through victory's flame Europe would tremble at the sound of my name The crown was lost, the tide turned cold Yet iron wills are not so easily sold From exile's shore, I crossed the sea France still remembered the name of me [Pre-Chorus] The kings unite, their armies draw near But I have faced a thousand fears Strike them apart before they combine The hour is mine, the stars align [Chorus] At the gates of Waterloo I will break the world anew Let the thunder shake the land Victory is in my hands Raise the eagles, sound the drums Let them see what now becomes I was born to shape the age History shall turn this page [Verse] At Ligny, the Prussian banners fell The guns spoke loud, the iron bell Wellington waits beyond the rain I shall divide them once again The fields are soaked, the skies are grey Yet none shall turn my will away One final charge, one final stand The fate of Europe in my hand [Bridge] But through the mist, the drums draw near A distant thunder, a rising fear The lines hold fast, the heavens break How much can one last gamble take? [Final Chorus] At the gates of Waterloo The sky has turned from gold to blue Through the smoke, the eagles fall And distant voices drown them all Raise the banners, sound the drums Let the final hour come I stood against the turning tide With all my empire at my side [Outro] The guns fall silent, the fields lie still A crown may break, but not the will And though the eagles fade from view The world remembers Waterloo
