Rorke's Drift Lyrics - Sabaton

News that came that morning told that the main force had been slain 

Chance for peace and justice gone and all talks had been in vain 

A prince had been offended and he has gone the path of war 

Now that 1500 men are dead and the Zulu's at the door 

Zulus attack, 

Fight back to back 

Show them no mercy and 

Fire at will 

Kill or be killed 

Facing, awaiting 

A hostile spear, a new frontier. the end is near 

There's no surrender 

The lines must hold. their story told, Rorke's drift controlled 

Later on that fateful day as they head towards the drift 

Stacking boxes, fortify, preparations must be swift 

Spears and shields of oxen hide facing uniforms and guns 

As the rifles fire, echoes higher, (beating) like the sound of drums 

1879, when a few held the line 

Back to back, attack, the dead are stacked 

Where a last stand was made, and the empire saved 

Back to back, attack, the dead are stacked
