Gott Mit Uns (English)

Lyrics
Spent the night in formation
To the battle we marched in the dawn
We were ready to die for our king
On the fields of Breitenfeld
Fire at will
Aim for their cannons
Counter attack
Thunder of guns
Gott mit uns
As we all stand united
All together Gott mit uns
From the old world’s demise
See an empire rise
From the north reaching far
Here we are
On September the seventh
We filled their hearts with fear
Seven times they attacked on that day
Seven times they retreated
Cavalry charge
Follow that banner
After the king
Freedom we bring
Breaking their lines
Thousands of soldiers
Run for their lives
Legends arise
Watch the lyric video for ‘Gott Mit Uns’ (English) below.
