[ti: Longest Day]
[length: 07:48]
[00:22.71]In the gloom the gathering storm abates
[00:27.62]In the ships gimlet eyes await
[00:31.91]The call to arms to hammer at the gates
[00:36.33]To blow them wide throw evil to its fate
[00:40.75]All summers long the drills to build the machine
[00:45.00]To turn men from flesh and blood to steel
[00:49.22]From paper soldiers to bodies on the beach
[00:53.93]From summer sands to armageddon’s reach
[00:58.55]Overlord, your master not your god
[01:02.72]The enemy coast dawning grey with scud
[01:07.07]These wretched souls puking, shaking fear
[01:11.80]To take a bullet for those who sent them here
[01:15.79]The world’s alight, the cliffs erupt in flame
[01:20.46]No escape, remorseless shrapnel rains
[01:24.69]Drowning men no chance for a warrior’s fate
[01:29.09]A choking death enter hell’s gates
[01:33.15]Sliding we go, only fear on our side
[01:40.54]To the edge of the wire
[01:44.45]And we rush with the tide
[01:48.04]Oh the water is red
[01:52.34]With the blood of the dead
[01:56.29]But I’m still alive
[02:00.14]Pray to God I survive
[02:04.21]How long on this longest day
[02:08.87]’Til we finally make it through
[02:13.72]How long on this longest day
[02:18.23]’Til we finally make it through
[02:22.95]How long on this longest day
[02:27.26]’Til we finally make it through
[02:32.38]How long on this longest day
[02:36.40]’Til we finally make it through
[02:44.08]The rising dead, faces bloated torn
[02:48.22]They are relieved, the living wait their turn
[02:53.02]Your number’s up, the bullet’s got your name
[02:57.38]You still go on, to hell and back again
[03:01.69]Valhalla waits, valkyries rise and fall
[03:06.10]The warrior tombs, lie open for us all
[03:09.90]A ghostly hand reaches through the veil
[03:14.77]Blood and sand, we will prevail
[03:18.33]Sliding we go, only fear on our side
[03:25.46]To the edge of the wire
[03:29.62]And we rush with the tide
[03:33.75]Oh the water is red
[03:37.85]With the blood of the dead
[03:41.38]But I’m still alive
[03:45.27]Pray to God I survive
[03:49.66]How long on this longest day
[03:54.18]’Til we finally make it through
[03:59.27]How long on this longest day
[04:03.02]’Til we finally make it through
[04:08.11]How long on this longest day
[04:12.56]’Til we finally make it through
[04:17.75]How long on this longest day
[04:21.58]’Til we finally make it through
[06:38.95]How long on this longest day
[06:43.10]’Til we finally make it through
[06:48.33]How long on this longest day
[06:52.78]’Til we finally make it through
[06:57.53]How long on this longest day
[07:01.69]’Til we finally make it through
[07:06.85]How long on this longest day
[07:11.13]’Til we finally make it through
[07:37.87]
