    We’ve paid in hell since Moscow burned
    These Cossacks tear us piece by piece
    Our dead are strewn a hundred leagues
    Though death would be a sweet release
    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

    And so on
