|
In the gloom, the gathering storm abates |
|
In the ships gimlet, eyes await |
|
The call to arms to hammer at the gates |
|
To blow them wide, throw evil to its fate |
|
All summers long the drills to build the machine |
|
To turn men from flesh and blood to steel |
|
From paper soldiers to bodies on the beach |
|
From summer sands to Armageddon's reach |
|
Overlord, your master not your god |
|
The enemy coast dawning gray with scud |
|
These wretched souls puking, shaking fear |
|
To take a bullet for those who sent them here |
|
The world's alight, the cliffs erupt in flame |
|
No escape, remorseless shrapnel rains |
|
Drowning men, no chance for a warrior's fate |
|
A choking death, enter Hell's gate |
|
Sliding we go |
|
Only fear on our side |
|
To the edge of the wire |
|
And we rush with the tide |
|
Oh, the water is red |
|
With the blood of the dead |
|
But I'm still alive |
|
Pray to God I survive |
|
How long on this longest day |
|
'Til we finally make it through? |
|
How long on this longest day |
|
'Til we finally make it through? |
|
How long on this longest day |
|
'Til we finally make it through? |
|
How long on this longest day |
|
'Til we finally make it through? |
|
The rising dead, faces bloated, torn |
|
They are relieved, the living wait their turn |
|
Your number's up, the bullet's got your name |
|
You still go on to Hell and back again |
|
Valhalla waits, Valkyries rise and fall |
|
The warrior tombs lie open for us all |
|
A ghostly hand reaches through the veil |
|
Blood and sand, we will prevail |
|
Sliding we go |
|
Only fear on our side |
|
To the edge of the wire |
|
And we rush with the tide |
|
Oh, the water is red |
|
With the blood of the dead |
|
But I'm still alive |
|
Pray to God I survive |
|
How long on this longest day |
|
'Til we finally make it through? |
|
How long on this longest day |
|
'Til we finally make it through? |
|
How long on this longest day |
|
'Til we finally make it through? |
|
How long on this longest day |
|
'Til we finally make it through? |
|
How long on this longest day |
|
'Til we finally make it through? |
|
How long on this longest day |
|
'Til we finally make it through? |
|
How long on this longest day |
|
'Til we finally make it through? |
|
How long on this longest day |
|
'Til we finally make it through? |
