The Key to Italy - Napoleonic Heavy Metal Song

In 1796-1797, the French under Napoleon Bonaparte besieged the fortress city of Mantua, in what became the focal point of the campaign. The Austrians made four attempts to relieve the city, but each time Napoleon managed to defeat them. ======== The Key to Italy LYRICS ======== In July the first relief came, Gunfire ripped through the fields, Lombardy, the Austrians had to reclaim, The French lines trembled, forced to yield. The heavy guns were lost that day But Bonaparte won’t fade away. So Napoleon gathered his force, Knowing his only course, The best defence is offence! Mantua under the shadow of war, Armies break on the French once more! Across the rivers, across the plains, France holds firm, the city's spirit wanes, Surrounded, starving, still they stand tall But Bonaparte swears: Mantua must fall! September’s dawn brings the second tide, White coats marching, side to side, But the French strike hard before they can form, Steel in the rain, a thunderstorm, Smoke and shouting flood the land, Another army the French withstand. Again Napoleon gathered his force, Knowing his only course, The best defence is offence! Mantua under the shadow of war, Armies break on the French once more! Across the rivers, across the plains, France holds firm, the city's spirit wanes, Surrounded, starving, still they stand tall But Bonaparte swears: Mantua must fall! Wurmser trapped behind the walls, Famine rises, fever calls. Another army marches south, And again the cannons roar, In smoke and in flame, In each battle he carved out his name. Again Napoleon gathered his force, Knowing his only course, The best defence is offence! Mantua under the shadow of war, Four armies shattered and France endures! The city could take no more, The siege is ending, the eagle stands tall, For Bonaparte swore: Mantua must fall! ========================================== Music created with aimusicgen.ai Concept and lyrics by Echoes of Eagles
