[00:00.000]The Charge (Live) - New Model Army
[00:30.681]Our history speaks in thunder
[00:32.041]From a thousand village halls
[00:34.950]In blood and sweat and sacrifice
[00:36.390]In honouring every call
[00:38.230]So the forces gathered against
[00:40.120]The thorn a-piercing in their side
[00:42.099]A brave new world is beckoning
[00:43.528]So the olden world must die
[01:00.671]In the offices of the city
[01:02.071]At all the tables of oak and power
[01:04.281]The snares are laid and baited
[01:05.531]For the approaching of the hour
[01:07.911]A hundred justifications
[01:09.111]And the presses are ready to roll
[01:11.561]The gateways to the nation
[01:13.161]They are firmly under control
[01:15.441]On on on cried the leaders at the back
[01:18.711]We went galloping down the blackened hills
[01:20.761]And into the gaping trap
[01:22.471]The bridges are burnt behind us
[01:23.991]And there's waiting guns ahead
[01:26.300]Into the valley of death
[01:28.740]Rode the brave hundreds
[01:44.193]We called for some assistance
[01:46.623]From the friends that we had known
[01:48.532]But this is the 1980s
[01:50.062]And we were on our own
[01:51.982]We never felt like heroes
[01:53.792]Or martyrs to a cause
[01:55.822]Just battle-weary soldiers
[01:57.412]In a bloody civil war
[01:59.700]On on on cried
[02:01.339]The leaders at the back
[02:02.829]We went galloping
[02:03.789]Down the blackened hills
[02:04.949]And into the gaping trap
[02:06.759]The bridges are burnt behind us
[02:08.569]And there's waiting guns ahead
[02:10.599]Into the valley of death
[02:12.949]Rode the brave hundreds
[02:33.003]The massacre now is over
[02:34.463]And the order new enshrined
[02:36.193]While a quarter of the nation
[02:37.673]Are abandoned far behind
[02:39.773]Their leaders offer the cliché words
[02:41.423]So righteous in defeat
[02:43.033]But no one needs morality
[02:44.553]When there isn't enough to eat
[02:46.583]The unity bond is broken and
[02:48.263]The loyalty songs are fake
[02:50.183]I'll screw my only brother for even a
[02:52.173]Glimpse at a piece of the cake
[02:53.903]We only cry in private here
[02:55.753]Behind the shuttered glass
[02:57.543]When we think of the
[02:58.673]Charge of this brigade
[02:59.643]The severing of the past
[03:01.312]On on on cried
[03:02.622]The leaders at the back
[03:04.552]We went galloping
[03:05.412]Down the blackened hills
[03:06.662]And into the gaping trap
[03:08.392]The bridges are burnt behind us
[03:10.022]And there's waiting guns ahead
[03:12.191]Into the valley of death
[03:15.809]On on on cried
[03:17.179]The leaders at the back
[03:19.009]We went galloping
[03:20.009]Down the blackened hills
[03:21.069]And into the gaping trap
[03:22.789]The bridges are burnt behind us
[03:24.278]And there's waiting guns ahead
[03:26.718]Into the valley of death
[03:29.087]Rode the brave hundreds
[03:31.277]On on on cried
[03:31.997]The leaders at the back
[03:33.537]We went galloping
[03:34.357]Down the blackened hills
[03:35.667]And into the gaping trap
[03:37.477]The bridges are burnt behind us
[03:39.077]And there's waiting guns ahead
[03:41.376]Into the valley of death
