The Longest Day Letras

In the gloom the gathering storm abates
In the ship gimlet eyes await
The call to arms to hammerat the gates
To blow them wide throw evil to its fate
All summers long the vdrills 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



Overload, your master not your god

The enemy coast dawning grey 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 sharpnel rains

Drowning men no chance for a warrior's fate

A chocking death enter hell's gates



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



The rising dead, faces bloated torn

They are relieved, the living wait their turn

Your number's up, the bullets got your name

You still go on, to the 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
