Lyrics Napoleon At Waterloo - White Hinterland

Napoleon At Waterloo

He holds us all in his hands
He is the one who’s in command
He leads us down to the knoll
The skies begin to fill with smoke
But do not falter, nor stand afraid
He is the one who holds us all
No, do not falter nor stand afraid
He is the one who holds us all
As one by one we fall
There goes now another man down
There goes now another man down
There goes now another man down…
They put their trust in his hands
And a medal on his chest
And the ladies who swoon say
That’s the place where his purple heart is
Where his purple heart is
Where his purple heart is
Where his purple heart is
Where his purple heart is
There goes now another man down
There goes now another man down
There goes now another man down…
The lights light up the backsides
Of all the soldiers on their guard who are waiting
And the captain of the battalion shouts
Fire…
There goes now another man down…
