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
