Race to the Sea - Sabaton

We're keeping the kingdom free

As an archduke falls and the battle horn calls

Our lives would never be the same

We were looking down the barrel of a gun

Now the war has come and the battle has begun

We are desperate and overrun

To the war drum, we'll be marching until it's done

Lead the way, we will follow into the fray

We will hold the line, we will not be led astray

For king and for country

We are flooding the river

Our stand at Yser will be

The end of the race to the sea

The last piece of Belgium's free

We're keeping a sliver

A cog in the war machine

October of 1914

As our foe draws forth we are moving on north

We will never let them have it all

There's a price for freedom paid by Belgium's sons

They may take our towns, they may conquer our grounds

We'll defend the nation and the crown

We'll uphold our independence with our guns

All the way, on to triumph or to judgement day

We will follow and we will not be led astray

For king and for country

We are flooding the river

Our stand at Yser will be

The end of the race to the sea

The last piece of Belgium's free

We're keeping a sliver

A cog in the war machine

October of 1914

See a king and a soldier

Fighting shoulder to shoulder

See a king and a soldier

Fighting shoulder to shoulder

He overruled his commanders

He made a last stand in Flanders

We see our king and a soldier

They're fighting shoulder to shoulder

To keep the last piece of Belgium free

All the way, on to triumph or to judgement day

We will follow and we will not be led astray

For king and for country

We are flooding the river

Our stand at Yser will be

The end of the race to the sea

The last piece of Belgium's free

We're keeping a sliver

A cog in the war machine

October of 1914

For king and for country

We are flooding the river

Our stand at Yser will be

The end of the race to the sea

We're free

For king and for country

We are flooding the river

No more of our country lost

The line will be held at all cost
