55 Days At Peking [Extended English Version] - Alderon Tyran

A Classic song where the 8 Nation Alliance (United States, Germany, Japan, Italy, Great Britain, Russia, and Austria-Hungary), The Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain, as well as Chinese Christians, fought against The Yìhéquán (Boxers) and the Qing Empire. To my knowledge, this is the only instance where all 11 nations (12 if you count the Chinese Christians as another nation), were on the same side of any conflict. This English version features 2 additional verses by yours truly! Lyrics Below! Lyrics: [Chorus] Bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom Bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom Bom, bom, bom, bom, bom Bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom The year was nineteen hundred 'tis worth remembering The men who lived through fifty-five days at Peking T'was called the Boxers Insurrection a bloody oriental war Against all nations of the diplomatic core The flags of France and Britain How they fluttered in the breeze The Italian and the Russian and the flag of the Japanese Then came the sound of bugles And the rolling drums of doom And the streets of Peking were as empty as a tomb [Chorus] The Nations built defences, ragged as they were As their leaders got together, for the plan there to concur Austrians joined with Frenchmen, Ameri’cans with Germans too Italians fought by Japanese And The British held on true! But all of this to not mistake The fact that there were more For 11 nations fought along with the Chinese Christian Corps [Chorus] The Nations numbered 400 but the horde we couldn’t count Yet for each of us that went down, the odds we did surmount But just as were almost lost, and surrender sounded good A young boy brought us good news and we all understood For only 100 miles In the city of Tianjin The Relief army was coming to save our skins. [Chorus] For many among the wounded, then joined the fray again For the glory of our last defence was greater than any pain But They stormed the French Legation They attacked with shot and shell And they came in blood red blouses Screaming "sha’shau" (杀殺啊) as they fell The drums have long been muffled The bugles cease to ring But through the ages you can hear them echoing
