Lyrics
Through the fog of dawn, our cannons roar,
Iron beasts unleashed, the dogs of war.
Spitting fire, the fuses set the spark
A stinging cloud of smoke the sky goes dark
With a voice like the angel who opens the seal
We rain holy fire down on soldier and field
For God and our country, we fight and we bleed,
In the garden of battle, we plant iron seeds.
The caissons are rolling
You can’t stop the tide
We have explosives
And God on our side
Our cannons will roar
Through the wind and the rain
We’ll bring the thunder
And you’ll feel the pain!
On the higher ground, we hold the line,
In the orchestra of war, no peace we find.
Our cannons sing a song of shattered bones,
Answered by a choir of dying groans.
Black smoke and powder, red blood and steel,
In the shadow of death, we will stand or we’ll kneel.
For God and our country, we fight and we bleed,
In the garden of battle, we plant iron seeds.
The caissons are rolling
You can’t stop the tide
We have explosives
And God on our side
Our cannons will roar
Through the wind and the rain
We’ll bring the thunder
And you’ll feel the pain!
The storm clouds are parting
Their tears have run dry
The light of day falls on the field
We witness the ruin our cannons have wrought
And a foe that refuses to yield
In silent resolve, we will load one more round
The echoes still ring in our ears
We know we may never see sunset again
But our legend will live through the years
As the foe marches nearer, we steady our will
It’s here that we’ll make our last stand
The enemy charges, like wolves to a kill
But a barrel of grapeshot will ruin any plan!
The caissons are rolling
You can’t stop the tide
We have explosives
And God on our side
Our cannons will roar
Through the wind and the rain
We’ll bring the thunder
And you’ll feel the pain!
