[Intro]
From the depths of Hell in silence Cast their spells, explosive violence Russian night time flight perfected Flawless vision, undetected [Verse 1] Pushing on and on, their planes are going strong (Air force's number one) Somewhere down below they're looking for the foe (Bomber's on a run) You can't hide, you can't move, just abide Their attack's been proved (Raiders in the dark) Silent through the night the witches join the fight (Never miss their mark) [Pre Chorus] Canvas wings of death Prepare to meet your fate Night bomber regiment 588 [Chorus] Undetected, unexpected Wings of glory Tell their story Avidiation, deviation Undetected Stealth perfected [Verse 2] Foes are losing ground, retreating to the sound (Death is in the air) Suddenly appears, confirming all your fears (Strike from witches lair) Target found, come around, barrels sound From the battleground (Axis aiming high) Rodina awaits, defeat them at the gates (Live to fight and fly) [Pre Chorus] Canvas wings of death Prepare to meet your fate Night bomber regiment 588 [Chorus] Undetected, unexpected Wings of glory Tell their story Avidiation, deviation Undetected Stealth perfected [Solo] [Bridge] Beneath the starlight of the heavens Unlikely heroes in the skies (Witches to attack, witches coming back) As they appear on the horizon The wind will whisper when the Night Witches come [Chorus] Undetected, unexpected Wings of glory Tell their story Avidiation, deviation Undetected Stealth perfected [Outro] From the depths of Hell in silence Cast their spells, explosive violence Russian night time flight perfected Flawless vision, undetected 02. No Bullets Fly Music by Joakim Brodén, Ken Kängström Lyrics by Joakim Brodén, Pär Sundström
[Verse 1]
From down below one enemy's spotted So hurry up, rearm and refuel But through the bomber's damaged air frame See wounded men scattered and burned [Verse 2] Look to the right and then look again And see the enemy in the eye No bullets fly, spared by his mercy Escorted out, out of harm's way [Pre-Chorus] Fly, fighting fair It's the code of the air Brothers, heroes, foes [Chorus] Killing machine Thunder in the sky B-17 Flying home Killing machine Said goodbye to the Cross he deserved [Verse 3] He risked his life 2 times that day To save an unknown enemy Escort to safety, out of the killzone A short salute, then departed [Pre-Chorus] Fly, fighting fair It's the code of the air Brothers, heroes, foes [Chorus] Killing machine Thunder in the sky B-17 Flying home Killing machine Said goodbye to the Cross he deserved [Bridge] Oh Oh Oh Oh [Pre-Chorus] Fly, fighting fair It's the code of the air Brothers, heroes, foes [Chorus] Killing machine Thunder in the sky B-17 Flying home Killing machine Said goodbye to the Cross he deserved 03. Smoking Snakes
We remember, no surrender
Heroes of our century 3 men stood strong, and they held out for long Going into the fight, to their death that awaits Crazy or brave, will it end in the grave? As they're giving their lives As their honor dictates Far, far from home, to a war Fought on foreign soil and Far, far from known, tell their tale, Their forgotten story Cobras fumantes, eterna é sua vitória Rise from the blood of your heroes You, were the ones who refused to surrender The 3, rather died than to flee, Know that your memory, Will be sung for a century 3 took the blow, while impressing their foe Throwing dice, with their lives As they're paying the price Sent to raise hell, hear the toll of the bell It is calling for you as the Wehrmacht devised Sent over seas to be cast into fire Fought for a purpose with pride and desire Blood of the brave they would give to inspire Cobras fumantes, your memory lives! 04. Inmate 4859
The dawn of century a boy born by a lake
Resettled from Karelia's plains Go to a man in exile as the Great War came Unleashed a shadow on his world Witold, Witold, who knows his name? Inmate in hell or a hero in prison? Soldier in Auschwitz who knows his name Locked in a cell, waging war from the prison Hiding in Auschwitz who hides behind 4859 Outside of never came decided to break free The end of April '43 Joined the Uprising, fight on the streets while hiding his rank Takes command (all for) serving his country in need Witold, Witold, who knows his name? Inmate in hell or a hero in prison? Soldier in Auschwitz who knows his name Locked in a cell, waging war from the prison Hiding in Auschwitz who hides behind 4859 Sent to the prison where the heroes are judged as traitors Accused of treason by his own Sentenced by countrymen under pressure of foreign influence Men he once fought to free Inmate in hell or a hero in prison? Soldier in Auschwitz we know his name Locked in a cell, waging war from the prison Hiding in Auschwitz he hides behind 4859 05. To Hell And Back
A short man from Texas
A man of the wild Thrown into combat Where bodies lie piled Hides his emotions His blood's running cold Just like his victories, His story unfolds Bright A white light If there'd be, Any glory in war Let it rest On men like him Dead men will never come back Crosses grow on Anzio Where no soldiers sleep and where hell is six feet deep That death does wait There's no debate So charge and attack going to Hell and Back A man of the 15th A man of Can Do Friends fall around him And yet he came through Let them fall face down If they must die Making it easier To say goodbye Bright A white light If there'd be, Any glory in war Let it rest On men like him Who went to Hell and came back Crosses grow on Anzio Where no soldiers sleep And where hell is six feet deep That death does wait There's no debate So charge and attack Going to Hell and Back Oh gather round me And listen while I speak Of a war Where Hell is six feet deep And all along the shore Where cannons still roar They're haunting my dreams They're still there when I sleep Crosses grow on Anzio Where no soldiers sleep And where hell is six feet deep That death does wait There's no debate So charge and attack Going to Hell and Back 06. The Ballad Of Bull
Sometimes war is killing
Sometimes it's saving lives It's the judgement of faith It's nothing that man can dictate Corporal Leslie Allen carried them from Tambu Saved his brothers in arms when no would follow through There and back again Bull just carried on Under fire he carried them out one by one There and back again Bullets all around All of the members that he carried away Twelve men would now live to see one more day His fear held at bay As he carried them away Sometimes war is killing Sometimes it's saving lives From Australia's shore Bull Allen went to war Sometimes war is saving Sometimes it's taking lives Thanks to one single man A dozen more survived There and back again Bull just carried on Under fire he carried them out one by one There and back again Bullets all around All of the men that he carried away Twelve men would now live to see one more day His fear held at bay As he carried them away Some men return from a war in a bag And yet the world knows their story Almost return unwilling to grant a life and humble at heart Nooooooo There and back again Bull just carried on Under fire he carried them out one by one There and back again Bullets all around All of the men that he carried away Twelve men would now live to see one more day His fear held at bay As he carried them away 07. Resist And Bite
War is coming swiftly,
The borders closing in We're a company of soldiers, Mere forty rifles strong! All alone! Stand alone! Ardenner ground is burning, And Rommel is at hand As the Blitzkrieg's pushing harder, The war is all around! All around! Hold your ground! Fight all eighteen days of battles, No odds are on our side, Few will fight for all, until the bullets are gone We, we will resist and bite! Bite hard, 'cause we are all in sight! We, we take up arms and fight! Fight hard, resist and do what's right! No matter our fighting, The numbers will still count We're outgunned and few in numbers, We're doomed to flag or fail! We fought hard! Held our guard! But when captured by the Axis, And forced to tell the truth We will tell it with a smile, We'll surprise them with a laugh! We are all! We were all! We were told to hold the border, And that is what we did Honored were our orders in despite of our foe We, we will resist and bite! Bite hard, 'cause we are all in sight! We, we take up arms and fight! Fight hard, resist and do what's right! Gloria fortis miles, the Wehrmacht's closing in! Adversor et admorsus, the Boar against the Eagle! Gloria fortis miles, the Wermacht's closing in! Adversor et admorsus, the Boar against the Eagle! We, we will resist and bite! Bite hard, 'cause we are all in sight! We, we'll take up arms and fight! Fight hard, resist and do what's right! 08. Soldier Of 3 Armies
Started out as a reserve

Lauri Törni's name A soldier of three armies knows the game Keeps their echo from the past Rise from beyond your grave Son of Finland and the Green Beret May you rest in peace at last From the finnish lakes Into Germany and USA All the wars he came across Cross of Mannerheim, an Iron Cross A Bronze Star, Purple Heart, One Distinguished Flying Cross Shout! Lauri Törni's name A soldier of three armies knows the game Keeps their echo from the past Rise from beyond your grave Son of Finland and the Green Beret May you rest in peace at last Lauri Allan Törni 09. Far From The Fame
As the great war is over and lost
He's been wounded in war, he returns with awards Into battle again far from home From a far distant land, our Marshal command Home Siblings sent to their death His wife paid the ultimate price Still As the war rages on You are our guide Far, far from the fame Far, far away from the fame But we still remember your name Karel Janou?ek! We mourn the day that you died So be our guide, Czechoslovakia's pride When the war has been fought and been won Our Marshal returns, to be thrown into jail Facing torture and years behind bars When he's finally back, life in ivory black Home Siblings sent to their death His wife paid the ultimate price Still As the war rages on You are our guide Far, far from the fame Far, far away from the fame But we still remember your name Karel Janou?ek! We mourn the day that you died So be our guide, Czechoslovakia's pride Far, far from the fame Far, far away from the fame But we still remember your name Karel Janou?ek! We mourn the day that you died So be our guide, Czechoslovakia's pride Far, far from the fame Far, far away from the fame But we still remember your name Karel Janou?ek! We mourn the day that you died So be our guide, Czechoslovakia's pride 10. Hearts Of Iron
See the Reich in flames
Try to save Berlin in vain It's a road through death and pain On the other shore, there's the end of the war Who could ever have believed, Seems like nothing's been achieved Just to walk a day, go all the way The fronts are closing in As the end is drawing near, The 12th Army interfere Open up a route, get people out, It's forces spread out thin It's the end of the war (Hold the corridor!) Reach for Elbe's shore! It's the end, the war has been lost Keeping them safe 'til the river's been crossed Nicht ein Schlacht, ein Rettungsaktion Holding their ground 'til the final platoon "Hurry up, we're waiting for you" Men of the 9th and civilians too! Dispossesed, surrendering to the West Who'll survive and who will die? Up to Kriegslück to decide Those who made it cross withou a loss Have reason to reflect It is not about Berlin, it is not about the Reich It's about the men, who fought for them, What peace can they expect? See the city burn on the other side Going down in flames as two worlds collide Who can now look back with a sense of pride? On the other shore, there's the end of the war... |
