Ride to the Guns Lyrics

Her majesty Victoria gave call
upon the troops
And gave the final order for their fate
Into the dawn of silence
the burning desert sands
The hour of the battle was at hand

Stood proud against the evil
The soldiers with no names
They kissed the iron cross
and blessed the land
They faced the deadly enemy
from the wastelands of the Tsar
Encamped up on the valley of the damned

Ride to the guns ride to the guns
Cannon to the left cannon to the right
Cannon to the front
Ride to the guns ride to the guns
Kingdom on the run fighting in the sun
Ride ride ride - ooh

And on their mighty chargers
went forward on and on
The thunderous six hundred came to die
The torching of a kingdom
The murder of the guns
The order for attack it was a lie

And hell rained down up on them
who'd taken to the field
And all around destruction came to call
The blood and bones made rivers
The crimson tide did flow
And one by one the brave began to fall

Ride to the guns ride to the guns
Cannon to the left cannon to the right
Cannon to the front
Ride to the guns ride to the guns
Killing in the sun fighting on the run
Die die die

The raven's wings were silent
They gathered for their feast
No sorrow for the fallen or their deeds
Who would break the silence or pacify the wind
And who would ever cage the Russian beast - oh

Ride to the guns ride to the guns
Cannon to the left cannon to the right
Cannon to the front
Ride to the guns ride to the guns
Cannon to the left cannon to the right
Cannon to the front
Ride to the guns ride to the guns
Fighting 'till death and the final breath
Die die die - yeah

Ride to the guns ride to the guns
Cannon to the left cannon to the right
Cannon to the front
Ride to the guns ride to the guns
Killing in the sun fighting on the run
Ride ride ride
