《The Charge》歌词

[00:00:01] The Charge -New Model Army

[00:00:47] Our history speaks in thunder from a thousand village halls

[00:00:51] In blood and sweat and sacrifice in honouring every call

[00:00:55] So the forces gathered against the thorn a-piercing in their side

[00:00:59] A brave new world is beckoning so the olden world must die

[00:01:16] In the offices of the city at all the tables of oak and power

[00:01:20] The snares are laid and baited for the approaching of the hour

[00:01:24] A hundred justifications and the presses are ready to roll

[00:01:27] The gateways to the nation they are firmly under control

[00:01:31] Ch: On on on cried the leaders at the back

[00:01:34] We went galloping down the blackened hills

[00:01:37] And into the gaping trap

[00:01:38] The bridges are burnt behind us and there＇s waiting guns ahead

[00:01:42] Into the valley of death rode the brave hundreds

[00:02:00] We called for some assistance from the friends that we had known

[00:02:03] But this is the 1980s and we were on our own

[00:02:07] We never felt like heroes or martyrs to a cause

[00:02:11] Just battle-weary soldiers in a bloody civil war

[00:02:47] The massacre now is over and the order new enshrined

[00:02:50] While a quarter of the nation are abandoned far behind

[00:02:54] Their leaders offer the clich words so righteous in defeat

[00:02:58] But no one needs morality when there isn＇t enough to eat

[00:03:01] The unity bond is broken and the loyalty songs are fake

[00:03:04] I＇ll screw my only brother for even a glimpse at a piece of the cake

[00:03:09] We only cry in private here behind the shuttered glass

[00:03:12] When we think of the charge of this brigade the severing of the past

[00:03:16] Ch: On on on cried the leaders at the back

[00:03:19] We went galloping down the blackened hills

[00:03:21] And into the gaping trap

[00:03:23] The bridges are burnt behind us and there＇s waiting guns ahead

[00:03:26] Into the valley of death rode the brave hundreds
