Overlord
The beaches of Normandy are the stage for this epic clash 1943 decision made to invade at last Open up a second front long awaited by the Russians Who push from the east already trap the Germans the discussion The names of the beaches which will ring throughout nations Utah, Omaha, Juno, Gold, and sword the destinations Across the English channel treacherous and unforgiving The beaches must be captured what they face stiff resistance Defensive positions held on ridges overlooking Each landing sight MG 34s do the shooting Death on a scale to turn the water blood red Awaits the ally invaders facing death 5, 000 vessels 160, 000 men Lead the assault to take the beaches then push in Through Northern France liberating all of them The Germans retreat steadily towards Berlin
June 6th 1944 is the day The Germans feel the pinch from the east and west they'll say This is the true beginning of the end you see Victory across the channel to beat Germany
Hitler put Rommel in charge up north Of building fortifications The Atlantic Wall They had disagreements on where the attack would occur Hitler believed not Normandy but further up The coast so they focused most their efforts up their And left Normandy sparsely defended unaware That this was the place yes indeed of their plight This oversight would be costly in this fight Deception by the allies had also played a role believe Operation bodyguard staged a ghost army Further convinced the Germans that this indeed The focal point of the assault the siege In Southern Britain the true invading force amassed Awaiting the day where they ride to clash With the opposing forces not knowing if they'll last To make it back home after the war has passed
June 6th 1944 is the day The Germans feel the pinch from the east and west they'll say This is the true beginning of the end you see Victory across the channel to beat Germany
A storm sets in the invasion still proceeds The skies darken foreshadowing what some will see The waves crash on the ships swaying back and forth The vast armada tries to stay on their path their course The men inside are unsure what awaits ahead Determination in their hearts but fear in their heads Gripping their weapons so tight that their hands shake Sweat forms on their brows just what hell awaits
The Germans on the beaches unaware of pending doom Manning their positions halfheartedly with no clue That 5, 000 ships are set to break the horizon The enemy approaches in the mist tensions rising Rommel left his post for a family engagement Sure in his heart that the attack wasn't staging But he was wrong and now the allies approach Spotted in the distance finally the Germans man their forts
On every beach the ships they appear Off in the distance panic sets in with fear The Germans start to scramble to their weapons their positions Communication down the line from Utah to Sword The allies start to pile into every landing ship The Germans open fire in the distance hit or miss The ships break the waves headed towards obstacles Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com That prevent them from landing directly on the beach no
The landing hatches open the soldiers running out Bullets strafing by some hit flesh some leave no doubt Utah Gold and Sword light resistance was felt Those beaches taken easily relatively went well But Juno for Canada wasn't going so smooth Bullets make a curtain on the beaches to break through The infantry was ahead of the supporting ships Suffering many casualties as they disembarked so quick
At Omaha 29th and 1st infantry Faced the three hundred fifty second of Germany The most contested beach of the invasion so far Was left to America to suffer greatly by far More casualties here than the other beaches combined Once the troops left their Higgins boats the bullets did fly Some killed in the water never made it ashore Into the jaws of death and the screams that unfold
The cliffs above perfect for the Germans to kill Inflicting lots and lots of damage on the soldiers it real Obstructed landings delayed vehicles and men They had to halt the landings to wait for destroyers to clear A path through the chaos providing cover for them Only 600 men reached the higher ground the next day Through the five entrenched gullies and start to clear the way So the vehicles could secure a beachhead that's safe
Its D Day the day they fade At the other landing sites the beaches quickly shape At Utah the 4th pushed 4 miles deep some way Only losing 200 men they broke through to take And meet up with the Airborne fleet in the French Hedgerow Paratroopers were scattered so it was difficult Despite delays they captured key points the flank They would protect without stopping to think
At Gold high winds and Le Hamel strong point 75 mm gun made the advance a tough one RHR took Arromanches which would be the site Of an artificial port named Mulberry Alright 9, 000 tons of equipment move from there a day A huge advantage for the allies they'd say Juno finally secured Canada created two exits Juno and Gold beachheads met 12 miles wide they set
It's D-Day the day they fade The Germans fall back to the hedgerow wait To ambush their the allies aware Of the tough task ahead but they fight don't care More men are flooding in on the beaches secured They move to liberate France the Germans destined to lose The Nazis now being pinched from two sides its true Hitler retreats to his bunker in denial a fool
Its D Day the day they fade The Germans fall back to Germany soon they'll say That this was the final blow to their fate The River Rhine make stand but it's all in vein German cities being bombed a fire storm to break The will of the people but no surrender would shape Time is now running out on the feared 3rd Reich Two fronts closing in with Berlin in their sites
It's D Day!
