    Friday Lyrics Corner

    In AJP tradition, here are some inspiring lyrics. Without foogling, can anyone name the group/song?

    In the gloom the gathering storm abates
    In the ships gimlet eyes await
    The call to arms to hammer at the gates
    To blow them wide throw evil to its fate

    All summers long they drill to build the machine
    To turn men from flesh and blood to steel
    From paper soldiers to bodies on the beach
    From summer sands to armageddon's reach

    Overlord, your master not your god
    The enemy coast dawning grey with scud
    These wretched souls puking, shaking fear
    To take a bullet for those who sent them here

    The world's alight, the cliffs erupt in flames
    No escape, remorseless shrapnel rains
    Drowning men no chance for a warriors fate
    A choking death, enter hells gates

    Sliding we go, only fear on our side
    To the edge of the wire
    And we rush with the tide
    Oh the water is red
    With the blood of the dead
    But I'm still alive, pray to God I survive

    How long on this longest day
    Till we finally make it through
    How long on this longest day
    Till we finally make it through

    The rising dead, faces bloated torn
    They are relieved, the living wait their turn
    Your number's up, the bullet's got your name
    You still go on, to hell and back again

    Valhalla waits, valkyries rise and fall
    The warrior tombs lie open for us all
    A ghostly hand reaches through the veil
    Blood and sand, we will prevail

    I will guess at a British band, as it's clearly about d day, probably one of those 70s prog rock jobs. I can't really name names as I'm 20 years too young.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

      Not a bad stab.......................I'll let it ride a bit longer in case anyone else gets it.

        You should have chosen this one on Monday.
        How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

          It feels like Black Sabbath, but it's a bit better than their usual standard.

            Right ballpark but no, not Sabbath.

              Haven't got a clue but is it Judas Priest?

              or possibly Marillion

                Folks are skirting all round it, but not quite hitting the right name. No, not Priest either I'm afraid.
                You are getting warm though.

                    Ah-Haaa! No apple today young Drewster, but jolly well done. It was indeed Maiden.........and rather a splendid little tune it is too.
