Screaming Eagles
Sabaton · Coat of Arms [2010]
Thunder is sounding artillery pounding
Wrath of the Nazis cast on Bastogne
Facing their forces alone
Alone! [2X]
Sent from the skies jumped into the unknown
The march to Berlin has begun
Spearhead the charge surrounded by foes
Eagles are leading the way
France is still under enemy rule
Push Axis retreat
Thrown towards Arnhem a bitter defeat
They're stretched out just one bridge too far
Turn of the tide it's breaking away
Losing momentum retreat
Go to Bastogne the crossroads must hold
Stand alone in the cold
Crack of the lightning splitting the ground
Thunder is sounding artillery pounding
Wrath of the nazis cast on Bastogne
Facing their forces alone
Alone! [2X]
Dig your own foxholes or dig your own grave
The storm is about to begin
The siege has begun there's nowhere to run
Panzerkampfwagen emerge
Tanks and mortars are shaking the ground
Prey of man and machine
Crack of the lightning splitting the ground
Thunder is sounding artillery pounding
Wrath of the Nazis cast on Bastogne
Facing their forces alone
Chill of the winter bite to the bone and Christmas is drawing near
Soldiers are freezing
The death toll increasing
They're dying in their holes
There's no surrender there's no retreat the Wehrmacht is drawing near
There's no reinforcements they're fighting all alone
Sent from the skies ended up in Bastogne
As easy as hard as they get
Nazi command request and demand
Offer surrender declined
Nuts
The generals word echo clear
Nuts
The Nazis shall hear
Crack of the lightning splitting the ground
Thunder is sounding artillery pounding
Wrath of the nazis cast on Bastogne
Facing their forces alone [2X]
