The first of March, I'm back again, it's 1815 Louis tries to claim my rights, just a fact I have foreseen One by one my army grows as we march towards Paris The king has fled, we're gathered here, our victory it is
Now I'm back on the throne of France The royalists are on defence Fight, brothers we fight Raise my flag on sacred ground Take the crown and sing out loud You my children, my country, my pride
Now the time has come to make the world all your own You're never alone See, see what they've done, in this one moment of hope Still we stand here unbent and defiant He's awakened: the sleeping giant
The Allies wanna end my reign with fire, sword and shield 150.000 men they put into the field But still I'm yearning The world is burning down Our fate is turning They've declared me an outlaw again
Now the time has come to make the world all your own You're never alone See, see what they've done, in this one moment of hope Still we stand here unbent and defiant He's awakened: the sleeping giant
Join our forces, be our men Fight the good fight, stand aligned till the end For our land Lead and powder, keep it dry March to Belgium, through the night we will fly They will die
Now the time has come to make the world all your own You're never alone See, see what they've done, in this one moment of hope Still we stand here unbent and defiant He's awakened: the sleeping giant
