Riding through the barricades, to an empty open space
Forget a brighter morrow, forget of joy and sorrow;
Just ride on
Not to make reply
No reasons why
But to do and die
Riding through the barricades, to an empty open space
Sabres high to draw a line that none will cross again
Close your eyes, it will be fast, we weren't made to last
Oh it's senseless, we all know, just don't think, wait the blow
Always ahead
Through the jaws of d**h
Till the gate of Hell
Rode the six hundred
They shall not grow old, time won't change
Days will not wear their steady hearts
Mirrors won't show the years condemn
We'll remember them
Now war is gone, war is over
We're back to the sands of Dover
And we feel as all survivors
Life's empty savour
But one had to stay
To remind the way
Our Light Brigade
Rode straight through Hell's gate
