 In the gloom the gathering storm abates
             
DO/MI        
MIm
In the ships gimlet eyes await
                    
DO/MI          
MIm
The call to arms to hammer at the gates
                                    
SI5
To blow them wide throw evil to its fate
                     
SOL/SI                
SI5
All summers long the drills to build the machine
                 
SOL/SI              
SI5
To turn men from flesh and blood to steel
                       
SOL/SI         
SI5
From paper soldiers to bodies on the beach
                                  
MIm
From summer sands to armageddon's reach
               
DO/MI            
MIm
Overlord, your master not your god
                
DO/MI              
MIm
The enemy coast dawning grey with scud
                     
DO/MI            
MIm
These wretched souls puking, shaking fear
                          
To take a bullet for those who sent them here
SI5                      
SOL/SI           
SI5
 The world's alight, the cliffs erupt in flame
             
SOL/SI              
SI5
No escape, remorseless shrapnel rains
                
SOL/SI                  
SI5
Drowning men no chance for a warrior's fate

A choking death enter hell's gates

Sliding we go, only fear on our side
       
MIm

To the edge of the wire
       
SOL

And we rush with the tide
       
MIm

Oh the water is red
         
SOL

With the blood of the dead
    
MIm

 The rising dead, faces bloated torn
                       
DO/MI              
MIm
They are relieved, the living wait their turn
                      
DO/MI              
MIm
Your number's up, the bullet's got your name
    
You still go on, to hell and back again
SI5                 
SOL/SI

 Valhalla waits, valkyries rise and fall
                       
SOL/SI       
SI5
The warrior tombs, lie open for us all
               
SOL/SI

A ghostly hand reaches through the veil
          
Blood and sand, we will prevail
