| 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 |
