[Chorus]

Crack of the lightning splitting the ground

Thunder is sounding artillery pounding

Wrath of the Nazis cast on Bastogne

Facing their forces alone

[Post-Chorus]

Alone!

Alone!

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Crack of the lightning splitting the ground

Thunder is sounding artillery pounding

Wrath of the Nazis cast on Bastogne

Facing their forces alone

[Post-Chorus]

Alone!

Alone!

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

Crack of the lightning splitting the ground

Thunder is sounding artillery pounding

Wrath of the Nazis cast on Bastogne

Facing their forces alone

[Bridge]

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

[Guitar Solo]

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]

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 general's word echo clear

Nuts

The Nazis shall hear

[Chorus]

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

Thunder is sounding artillery pounding

Wrath of the Nazis cast on Bastogne

Facing their forces alone
