Badajoz

After twenty nights, the guns lie still
 The calm before the storm
 The waiting men prepare themselves
 For the carnage yet to come
 Three months since, in blood and fire
 Ciudad Rodrigo fell
 If into Spain we are to march
 This beast must fall as well
 The breach is steep, the ditch is deep
 Above the Frenchmen wait
 But Marshal Soult is drawing near
 There is no time to waste
 Wellington knows that he must act
 Attack and damn the cost
 The orders travel down the line
 The Devil laughs at Badajoz
 ♪
 They climb into the teeth of guns
 Towards the waiting blades
 Advancing soldiers torn apart
 By bullets and grenades
 A constant hail of cannon fire
 And bullets from above
 Climb your comrades corpses and
 The rubble slick with blood
 The breach is calling
 Reform, storm again
 On this night of bloodshed
 Once more to the breach
 The fortress must fall
 Reform, storm again
 Straight into the mouth of Hell
 Once more to the breach
 To die
 ♪
 Shots and screams are deafening
 In this place where Death is king
 Suddenly there comes a shout
 The tide begins to turn about
 Men are in the castle now
 The 3rd Division, God knows how
 One red jacket on the pole
 The time has come, the city falls
 The breach still calling
 Reform, storm again
 On this night of bloodshed
 Once more to the breach
 The fortress must fall
 Reform, storm again
 Straight into the mouth of Hell
 Once more to the breach
 To die
 ♪
 'Cross the walls the soldiers stream
 And in the streets begin the screams
 Blood-drunk soldiers that survived
 Now cast their consciences aside
 Terror of the drunken mob
 Civilians murdered, raped and robbed
 Britain's army's honor stained
 Let history not forget their shame
