Peace my brother
There will be peace
Bested On the Battlefield
Hostility will cease
Napoleon meets the young Tsar come to terms
A common foe is the British now can't you see
Agree to terms ending trade with them
And soon they'll fall to their knees
Russia and France all is well it seems
But over time relations cool abruptly
Napoleon's continental system
Has devastating consequences for the Russian economy
To solidify relations Napoleon proposes
To marry the Tsars younger sister certainly
But the Romanovs are weary of the French ruler
And thus they decline
The Russians open the door to British trade
And at this Napoleon is undermined
Treaties aren't worth more now
Than the paper they're written on
They can be ripped
They can be torn
They can be
Wavered on
Just like the nations swept up
Just like the nations that march to war
Invasion is now imminent
Summon the calvary the horses for war
The horses for war
Treaties and Treachery
The horses for war
Treaties and Treachery
Peace my brother
There will be peace
Well it seems
That's been squandered
Secret meeting and deals with my enemy
Forces my hand now I ponder
Dreams of an army the likes that's never been seen
For retribution call it honor
The Russians turn their backs cold like the winter
Napoleon won't take this any longer
Plans are set in motion to raise a massive force
Hundreds and hundreds of thousands
Men like a swarm from the nations he's consumed
200,000 from France proper
A grande army for a grande mission for a cause
To break the Russians back into submission
600,000 plus men will assemble
To invade the Russian steppes with ambition
Treaties aren't worth more now
Than the paper they're written on
They can be ripped
They can be torn
They can be
Wavered on
Just like the nations swept up
Just like the nations that march to war
Invasion is now imminent
Summon the calvary the horses for war
The horses for war
Treaties and Treachery
The horses for war
Treaties and Treachery
Napoleon already fighting battles in Spain
So this war is two fronts
600,000 only 200,000 French gather at the the Neimen to cross
Some from Germany some from the Duchy of Warsaw
A force that is stitched together
The largest force tho the world has ever seen
Gather all together at the river they'll cross
A force so large it takes days to make the crossing
A long baggage train full of weapons and supplies
Napoleon's army known for their swift cavalry
So thousands and thousands of horses ride hard
The heat is sweltering it starts to weigh on the men
As the massive army moves the dust cloud is large
And of course disease follows with them
But with their famed Calvary victory isn't far
But with the Russian Cossack they have met their match'
And their tactics follow no rules
Attack the French soldiers when they're compromised
Then disappear in the Forest and loom
The cossack Shashka cutting down the French
As the massive army moves
But the supplies are slowed by the Russian roads
That turn to mud in the summer deluge
The Russian resistance minimal the first wave
In terms of the forces assembled
So even tho slow the French keep on moving
Towards the objective its simple
Occupy and take Moscow the symbolic Russian heart
Even tho the capital is Saint Petersburg
They will crumble if you take out the heart they are led
But Russian resilience will soon be known of be heard
The Russians retreat in the face of this threat
Extending the French supply lines
A Tactical retreat to make them overextend
General Kutusov biding his time
The French reach Borodino after suffering immensely
From the elements and the pace
And the Russians resolve to now make a stand
In this city history will not Erase
Borodino the men are zero
Because machines of the war will tear them down so simple
And the Calvary charges the horses will crash
See all along desperate soldiers will clash
Protect your home protect honor with every charge
The smell of gunpowder and death aren't faint
Napoleon leading his men with a vision
And in his mind he can almost start to think
I can see the spires of Moscow
I can see it's spires ahead of me
Treaties have been ripped apart
Treaties are replaced with treachery
But in these battles the men suffer endlessly
The type of wounds made are horrific really honestly
The Cossacks they appear to attack the French supplies
Chaos ensues but they continue on to fight
To take Raevsky redoubt with waves and waves of men
Close quarters fighting makes artillery amend
Napoleon refuses to commit his guard
Seeing that the battle is won he can start to think
I can see the spires of Moscow
I can see it's spires ahead of me
Treaties have been ripped apart
Treaties are replaced with treachery
The battle was won but its not decisive
Surely they will meet them at the gates of Moscow
But the Russians they decide after suffering losses
To abandon the city they will burn it down
Civilians and soldiers take flight from the city
Ahead of Napoleon's forces
So the city is nothing but a ghost town
They must winter their without many choices
But the voices of the Russians speak loud and clear
This is not the place you'll survive the winter not here
Buildings catch fire all throughout the city all night
Moscow becomes a smoldering ruin of defiance not plight
Napoleon impressed and appalled they did this to their own city
Their spirit won't rest
He is awoken by the eerie glow of fire consuming the city all around
Causing stress
Wintering there is no longer viable as the flames start to dance
As the flames start to grow
So he reluctantly gives the order to retreat to outrun the winter outlast
The winter so cold
So cold
