When Nations Collide Lyrics

Of Nations

Of Nations

Of Nations

Of Nations

Napoleon's grand army not so grand

After the retreat out of Russia so real

Almost a half a million men left frozen on the steppes

A monument you can see the bodies their still

Tortured are the faces

Of France's greatest soldiers

Tortured is a Nation

That must fight for existence no closure

Napoleon raises another army in haste

Because the allies form another coalition

Russia Prussia and Austria

Great Britain to take him down is their mission

So at this village just across the Elster

Things come to a head

The enemy is closing in on all sides

And when it's done for miles layed out are the dead

At Leipzig blood is spilled in the streets

In the rivers and crossings blood is all around your feet

You see the men are shattered by machines of the war

Thousands and thousands still converge thousands more

The largest battle Europe has seen for the Nations

And long after the guns fall silent death is waiting

And long after the guns fall silent their saying

They can still hear the cries from every soldier all nations

Nations are forged from blood

Of the soldiers

Who have fallen

They're calling

They do not know why

Laying there

Through the smoke

Look up to the sky

And it's burning

When Nations Collide

When Nations Collide

Collide

When Nations collide

(Collide) Marshal Bernadotte now the leader of the Swedish

Marches tentative there will be much discussion

While Bluecher makes haste Napoleon is losing time

His commanders tied up in skirmishes of brutal substance

Artillery breaks the Cavalry that charges

And Cavalry will crush the infantry as it marches

Bones are shattered and limbs are ripped apart

The anguish of the men can't be described without losing heart

At Leipzig blood is spilled in the streets

In the rivers and crossings blood is what you'll see

Napoleon outnumbered 2 to1 can't retreat

But they will be encircled if they can't face defeat

So the order to retreat across the Elster is decided

But it's one path one bridge hard to hide it

So thousands of men start the crossing back to France

Leaving the wounded and dead in the streets no chance

Nations are forged from blood

Of the soldiers

Who have fallen

They're calling

They do not know why

Laying there

Through the smoke

Look up to the sky

And it's burning

When Nations Collide

Nations are forged from blood

Of the soldiers

Who have fallen

They're calling

They do not know why

Laying there

Through the smoke

Look up to the sky

And it's burning

When Nations Collide

When Nations Collide

Collide

When Nations collide

(Collide) Napoleon leads the retreat out the city

Before his enemies come with plenty

Thousands and thousands of French soldiers cross

Over one bridge no pity

Even his Marshalls are consumed by the chaos

When the bridge is blown up too soon

Swim across the river all while being attacked

Many men washed away meet doom

This city is subject to bombardment

As the allies assault and close in

Victory they celebrate in the streets

Napoleon prepares France for defense

Invasion is emanant it's the plan

As this battle comes to an end

Poignant memories are acquired

When they survey the battlefield where they've been

All they can see for miles and miles

Are the dead they are calling

All they can see for miles and miles

Nations forged by the fallen

All they can see for miles and miles

Are the dead they are calling

All they can see for miles and miles

Nations forged by the fallen

All they can see for miles and miles

Are the dead they are calling

All they can see for miles and miles

Nations forged by the fallen

All they can see for miles and miles

Are the dead they are calling

All they can see for miles and miles

Nations forged

By the fallen
