Redcoat Lyrics – Forlorn Hope
Singer: Forlorn Hope
Title: Redcoat
Shoulder to shoulder in a desperate square
Shot and smoke fills the Flanders air
Sabres flash horses thunder fast
But they stand their ground and the square holds fast
Fierce grenadier with an iron will
Marches into the carnage at Bunker Hill
Move as one to the rebel guns
Fatal ball sees him fall, now his work is done
Theirs was not to reason why
Theirs was but to do and die
Hero of his country
And a vagabond reviled
Conqueror oppressor
And a nameless ghost of the rank and filе
For King and Queen and country
For glory, gold and fame
Through history he marches
Rеdcoat is his name
On a distant moor in a game of kings
Where the cannon roar and the broadsword sings
Nightmare sound bodies all around
At the final battle on British ground
Survivor of horror with a hardened heart
Rebels lashed to the cannon and blown apart
Blood-soaked lands in Imperial hands
Will the scars ever heal? Do you suppose they can?
Across the world their tale is told
An Empire built on blood and gold
Hero of his country
And a vagabond reviled
Conqueror, oppressor
And a nameless ghost of the rank and file
For King and Queen and country
For glory, gold and fame
Through history he marches
Redcoat is his name
Charge a bloody breach for the key to Spain
In the Afghan snows, make your stand in vain
At Blenheim, spill your blood at the barricade
Far from hope and far from home
Take your place in Campbell’s thin red line
Open fire with Wolfe for the final time
Join the handful at the Drift, turning back the tide
Carve a legacy in stone
In death they share eternal fame
They know that Redcoat is their name
Hero his country
And a vagabond reviled
Conqueror, oppressor
And a nameless ghost of the rank and file
For King and Queen and country
For glory, gold and fame
Through history he marches
Redcoat is his name
Hero of his country
And a vagabond reviled
Conqueror, oppressor
And a nameless ghost of the rank and file
For King and Queen and country
For glory, gold and fame
Through history he marches
Redcoat is his name
