Generate meaning
1
In the gloom the gathering strom abates
2
In the ships gimlet eyes await
3
The call to arms to hammer all the gates
4
To blow them wide throw evil to its fate
5
All summers long the drill 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 flames
14
No escape, remorseless shrapnel rains
15
Drowning men no chance for a warriors fate
16
A choking death, enter hells gates
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
The rising dead, faces bloated torn
28
They are relieved, the living wait their turn
29
Your number's up, the bullet's got your name
30
You still go on, to hell and back again
31
Valhalla waits, valkyries rise and fall
32
The warrior tombs lie open for us all
33
A ghostly hand reaches through the veil
34
Blood and sand, we will prevail
35
Sliding we go, only fear on our side
36
To the edge of the wire
37
And we rush with the tide
38
Oh the water is red
39
With the blood of the dead
40
But I'm still alive, pray to God I survive
41
How long on this longest day
42
'Til we finally make it through
43
How long on this longest day
44
'Til we finally make it through
45
How long on this longest day
46
'Til we finally make it through
47
How long on this longest day
48
'Til we finally make it through
