Crack of the lightning splitting the ground.
Thunder is sounding, artillery pounding.
Wrath of the nazis 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 to 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! ALONE!

Dig your own foxholes or dig your own grave.
The storm is about to begin.
The seige 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.
Offered 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 nazis cast on Bastogne
Facing their forces alone

Crack of the lightning splitting the ground
