Beneath The Banner Of The Iron DukeUnder the cover of a darkening dayThe allies halt their retreat On the ridge of Mont Saint Jean Tomorrow the battle will be fought! The cavalry guard the last of the infantry Allied artillery lines the ridge The stalemate at Quatre bras Must not be made to look a defeat This is the day, this is the place, this is where we will stand, Seventh Coalition against Napoleon With no retreat and no respite we stand under the Iron Duke we will win the Battle of Waterloo With the dawn near 200,000 men Begin to rise Soaked and blue with the cold For the battle they prepare The allies form into their squares Clutching their rifles tight If the calvary see them flinch The battle will be lost This is the day, this is the place, this is where we will stand, Seventh Coalition against Napoleon With no retreat and no respite we stand under the Iron Duke we will win the Battle of Waterloo |
