00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:05.379
The limestone walls of San Juan are cold

00:00:05.500 --> 00:00:10.460
beneath my hand. I am the first to plant

00:00:10.529 --> 00:00:14.960
the flag upon this burning sand.

00:00:15.140 --> 00:00:19.519
We march for global order and the credit of the banks,

00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:24.539
to keep the gears of commerce moving through

00:00:24.739 --> 00:00:29.550
our steady ranks. 
I led the troops from Cuba's shore,

00:00:29.620 --> 00:00:34.560
the vanguard of the crown, 
to show the world that Spanish

00:00:34.619 --> 00:00:38.460
claims will never be put down. 
Oh, I am

00:00:38.500 --> 00:00:43.420
Juan Prim y Prats, the Lion of the Reus.
We've come to

00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:47.479
hold the city, and to see the coin produced.

00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:52.000
Three banners in the wind shall fly to settle every score,

00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:57.060
to walk the line of treaty, and to guard the customs door.

00:00:57.539 --> 00:01:02.259
The debt is owed in silver, 
the debt is owed in gold.

00:01:02.579 --> 00:01:07.280
And we will stand together, 
three nations brave and bold.

00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.859
I scan the gray horizon where 
the English masts will rise.

00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:16.959
Commodore Dunlop's cannon-smoke will soon sting

00:01:17.019 --> 00:01:21.159
rebel eyes. 
And with him comes the admiral,

00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:25.760
the fleur-de-lis in tow, the tricolor of France to

00:01:25.939 --> 00:01:30.340
reinforce a martial show. 
We'll stand as an

00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:35.120
alliance, a grand and grim display, to force the

00:01:35.180 --> 00:01:40.109
hand of Juarez and to make their nation pay. 
The camp

00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:44.000
is set at the coast, for I seek no
mountain climb.

00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:48.920
To judge the heart of Juarez,
 and to give the diplomats time.

00:01:49.450 --> 00:01:53.959
The London pact has bound us 
to a single, steady goal:

00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:58.980
to keep the peace of commerce, 
and to take back what they stole.

00:01:59.459 --> 00:02:04.040
A sovereign land must answer 
when the Great Powers come to call.

00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:09.258
We stand beneath our colors, 
and we stand together tall.

00:02:09.500 --> 00:02:13.680
The fleet is gathering in the mist, 
a forest on the sea,

00:02:13.860 --> 00:02:18.639
a triple-headed hydra in a show of unity.

00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:23.319
There is work for every soldier,

00:02:23.419 --> 00:02:27.960
there is work for every gun, 
until the papers are signed

00:02:27.979 --> 00:02:32.419
and the heavy task is done. 
Let the world

00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:37.300
behold the union, let the talking now begin, 
to bring the

00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:42.259
law of Europe to the rebel hearts within.

00:02:42.340 --> 00:02:47.080
Let the anchors drop in the harbor...

00:02:47.099 --> 00:02:51.879
Let our demands be heard...
Let our demands be heard...

00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:56.879
The Lion and the Eagle and the Union Jack

00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:01.860
will not be cheated by your rebel nation.

00:03:01.939 --> 00:03:04.360
We stand together for

00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:09.852
justice.
