As the trumpets of Charlemagne sing
Brave knights march
For the great and mighty king
In aces dark
Fight the battles
Of a holy war
For the empire
Kill by the score
No glory no story
Just too young to die
No sign for no time for
One soldiers cry
From the power of Napoleon's crown
Empire reigns
For the conquest of all around
In his name
In the cross-fire
Of a thousand guns
Simple soldier
Nowhere to run
No glory no story
Just too young to die
No sign for no time for
One soldiers cry
It's always the same
So many heroes are dying unamed
Thiers is no flame
