[Verse 1]
Usher in the rally cries
Revolution's here again
The emperor's bonds are broken
As free he shall remain
Escape, through narrow, was demand
While his reign remained in view
This fight for France, 'til bitter end
He must see it through
[Verse 2]
Coalition forms of many lands
Against Napoleon, west to east
Like dogs of war will take to arms
And soon will be unleashed
Prussian, Russian and Austrian
All follow British lead
At allies' helm is Wellington
Must make his foe concede
[Chorus]
Foreshadowed man of destiny
Soon you will be forced to see
Nations aligning against you
Marking the time your reign is through
(And you will see your 100 days come to an end)
Foreshadowed man of destiny
Soon you will be forced to see
Nations aligning against you
Marking the time your reign is through
(It lies before you, fate shall befall you)
