Done With Bonaparte Lyrics by Mark Knopfler

Done With Bonaparte Lyrics

    We've paid in hell since moscow burned
    As cossacks tear us piece by piece
    Our dead are strewn a hundred leagues
    Though death would be a sweet release
    And our grande armée is dressed in rags
    A frozen starving beggar band
    Like rats we steal each other's scraps
    Fall to fighting hand to hand

    Save my soul from evil, lord
    And heal this soldier's heart
    I'll trust in thee to keep me, lord
    I'm done with bonaparte

    What dreams he made for us to dream
    Spanish skies, egyptian sands
    The world was ours, we marched upon
    Our little corporal's command
    And i lost an eye at austerlitz
    The sabre slash yet gives me pain
    My one true love awaits me still
    The flower of the aquitaine

    Save my soul from evil, lord
    And heal this soldier's heart
    I'll trust in thee to keep me, lord
    I'm done with bonaparte

    I pray for her who prays for me
    A safe return to my belle france
    We prayed these wars would end all wars
    In war we know is no romance
    And i pray our child will never see
    A little corporal again
    Point toward a foreign shore
    Captivate the hearts of men

    Save my soul from evil, lord
    And heal this soldier's heart
    I'll trust in thee to keep me, lord
    I'm done with bonaparte
