After ordering retreat for weeks they held out
Until the city is too treacherous misery and doubt
The soldiers that remain are only but a fraction
Napoleon must gage a way through disaster
The Russians are regrouping as the winter closes in
Their plan to use misery as an ally and friend
The temperature will plummet but for now favorable
So the French army moves but disaster inevitable
Must find a path
The eastern one is destroyed
Must find a way
To the Neimen through the cold
Must find a way
To stave off determined Russians
Who hairy them all along the way
In a way that's soul crushing
Tarutino Marshal Murat is defeated
Significant blow to the French calvary that's needed
Maloyaroslavets forces the French certainly
Back on the old road that they invade initially
Everything destroyed all supply depots
As the winter closes in temperatures sink low
Really ill equipped animals and men suffer
The French in roving bands clinging to life getting tougher
Cold
The snow starts falling
At every turn
To the Russians men are falling
It burns
The cold it is biting
Seeing death
Eternal sleep seems inviting
And the hunger
Embraces you like madness in the end
If you fall asleep
You will never wake again
Cold
The snow starts falling
At every turn
To the Russians men are falling
It burns
The cold it is biting
Seeing death
Eternal sleep seems inviting
And the hunger
Embraces you like madness in the end
If you fall asleep
You will never wake again
Again
Again
Again
You will never wake again
The Russians force the French army back the way they came
On desolate paths scorched causing pain
The horses are dying at alarming rates then
From hunger, exposure, and from men eating them
The soldiers lacking clothes that are proper for the cold
So when the first blizzard hits its disastrous you know
Exposed limbs frostbitten many soldiers bare foot
Trudging through the snow all of this is no good
Must find a path
That is safe from the Cossack scourge
Must find a way
To find shelter find anything to burn
Must find a way
To get all these men back safely home
And avoid the steppes becoming a tomb
Their final resting place so far and alone
The army that's comprised of various nations
Starts to lose discipline turn on each other so wrong
The stragglers left become ravenous
Like a ghostly visage of men so far gone
Eating dead horses and anything they can find
This apparition once a grand army moves in time
To the Russian borders but they must cross a river
Where the Russians await at the Berezina with vigor
Cold
The snow starts falling
At every turn
To the Russians men are falling
It burns
The cold it is biting
Seeing death
Eternal sleep seems inviting
And the hunger
Embraces you like madness in the end
If you fall asleep
You will never wake again
Again
Again
Again
You will never wake again
At the Berezina River
Despite reinforcements the crossing is treacherous
The Russians destroyed the bridge
And so it's seemingly hopeless
The thaw has turned the river menacing
Large chunks of ice race by
So the French must construct engineer two bridges
To escape at all cost or just die
The Russians they attack as the bridges go up
The chaos that ensues battling of legends stuff
The bridges are completed somehow through the fight
Napoleon and his men start to cross
Though sections of the bridge break they are repaired
So through the day many still cross before night
And still many more
Trapped on the other side
The Russians keep bombarding the bridge
The French stragglers they should cross
But many they decide rather fatefully
To wait out the night and this will cost
Napoleon gave orders to have the bridges burned
Cutting off the enemy pursuit
So many men wake up panicked will get left behind
Some try to swim but they are lost now to time
They are hard to find
But listen
What once was retreat
Has descended into flight
Thousands and Thousands of men left behind
At the river most really hard to find
Frozen in place in a frozen tomb
When it thaws it will be hard to face time
Napoleon on sled escapes December 5th
Leaving his men behind
A disaster the world has now learned about
So many souls left behind
The rest of the world look to form a coalition
To stem Napoleon's rising tide
Only 10,000 soldiers will cross the Neimen back home
Half a million French invaders died
You can find them in frozen tombs
You can find them in frozen tombs
You can find them in frozen tombs
A once Grand Armée turned into visions
Of Glory and doom
