Generate meaning
1
In the gloom the gathering storm abates
2
In the ships gimlet eyes await
3
The call to arms to hammer at the gates
4
To blow them wide throw evil to it's fate
5
All summers long the drills to build the machine
6
To turn men from flesh and blood to steel
7
From paper soldiers to bodies on the beach
8
From summer sands to Armageddon's reach
9
Overlord, your master not your god
10
The enemy coast dawning grey with scud
11
These wretched souls puking, shaking fear
12
To take a bullet for those who sent them here
13
The world's alight, the cliffs erupt in flame
14
No escape, remorseless shrapnel rains
15
Drowning men no chance for a warrior's fate
16
A choking death enter hell's gate
17
Sliding we go, only fear on our side
18
To the edge of the wire,
19
And we rush with the tide
20
Oh the water is red,
21
With the blood of the dead
22
But I'm still alive, pray to God I survive
23
How long on this longest day
24
'Til we finally make it through
25
How long on this longest day
26
'Til we finally make it through
27
How long on this longest day
28
'Til we finally make it through
29
How long on this longest day
30
'Til we finally make it through
31
The rising dead, faces bloated torn
32
They are relieved, the living wait their turn
33
Your number's up, the bullet's got your name
34
You still go on, to hell and back again
35
Valhalla waits, Valkyries rise and fall
36
The warrior tombs, lie open for us all
37
A ghostly hand reaches through the veil
38
Blood and sand, we will prevail
39
Sliding we go, only fear on our side
40
To the edge of the wire,
41
And we rush with the tide
42
Oh the water is red,
43
With the blood of the dead
44
But I'm still alive, pray to God I survive
45
How long on this longest day
46
'Til we finally make it through

How long on this longest day
