Screaming Eagles

Crack of the lightning splitting the ground Thunder is sounding, artillery pounding Wrath of the Nazi's cast on Bastogne Facing their forces alone Alone, alone 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 Nazi's cast on Bastogne Facing their forces alone Alone, alone 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 Nazi's 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 Nazi's shall hear Crack of the lightning splitting the ground Thunder is sounding, artillery pounding Wrath of the Nazi's cast on Bastogne Facing their forces alone Crack of the lightning splitting the ground Thunder is sounding, artillery pounding Wrath of the Nazi's cast on Bastogne Facing their forces alone
