Lyrics
The world around us
angrily pointed at our hearts
not a soul stands with us
grueling battles from the start
September rains
brought misfortune and pain
nations wiped from
the map of the earth
history irrevocably changed
for the worst
crumbled empires
all thats left
in Europe's tortured shadow
a menace laughs
you will not break our pride
have faith in
summer skies
British steel 'gainst German Iron
this is our finest hour we shall prevail
by our deeds you'll know us
The cliffs of Dover shall run red
unto the English channel
we shall entomb our noble dead
gunfire fills the sky
this a war of eagles
fractions of eye blinks the thin line
Betwixt life and death
The cliffs of Dover shall run red
unto the English channel
we shall entomb our noble dead
gunfire fills the sky
this a war of eagles
fractions of eye blinks the thin line
Betwixt life and death
