[00:43.53]They crossed over the border the hour before dawn moving in lines through the day
[00:55.83]Most of our planes were destroyed on the ground where they lay
[01:03.21]Waiting for orders we held in the wood
[01:09.66]Word from the front never came
[01:14.82]By evening the sound of the gunfire was miles away
[01:22.62]I softly move through the shadows, slip away through the trees
[01:29.76]Crossing their lines in the mist in the fields on our hands and our knees
[01:37.59]And all that
[01:38.58]I ever Was able to see
[01:44.88]The fire in the air, glowing red
[01:47.55]Silhouetting the smoke on the breeze
[02:00.63]All summer they drove us back through the
[02:03.27]Ukraine Smolensk and
[02:08.01]Viasma soon fell
[02:12.39]By Autumn we stood with our backs to the town of
[02:16.11]Orel Closer and closer to
[02:21.81]Moscow they come
[02:26.28]Riding the wind like a bell
[02:31.77]General Guderian stands at the crest of the hill
[02:39.09]Winter brought with the rains, oceans of mud filled the roads
[02:46.32]Gluing the tracks of their tanks to the ground, while the skies filled with snow
[02:54.15]And all that
[02:55.11]I ever Was able to see
[03:01.59]The fire in the air, glowing red
[03:04.11]Silhouetting the snow on the breeze (Ah, Ah, Ah) [x4] (Ah, Ah, Ah) [all thru bridge ]
[03:38.58]In the footsteps of
[03:39.72]Napoleon, the shadow figures stagger through the winter
[03:45.72]Falling back before the gates of
[03:47.61]Moscow, standing in the wings like an avenger
[03:53.28]And far away behind their lines, the partisans are stirring in the forest
[04:00.72]Coming unexpectedly upon their outpost, growing like a promise
[04:07.41]You'll never know, you'll never know, which way to turn, which way to look you'll never see us
[04:14.82]As we steal into the blackness of the night you'll never know, you'll never hear us
[04:22.23]And evening sings in a voice of amber, the dawn is surely coming
[04:29.67]The morning road leads to
[04:31.50]Stalingrad, and the sky is softly humming
[04:47.94]Two broken tigers on fire in the night
[04:54.21]Flicker their souls to the wind
[04:59.34]We wait in the lines for the final approach to begin
[05:06.48]It's been almost four years that
[05:08.61]I've carried a gun
[05:13.11]At home, it will almost be spring
[05:18.51]The flames of the tiger are lighting the road to
[05:22.17]Berlin I quickly move through the ruins that bow to the ground
[05:33.15]The old men and children they send out to face us, they can't slow us down
[05:41.01]And all that
[05:41.97]I ever Was able to see
[05:48.39]The eyes of the city are opening
[05:51.21]Now it's the end of a dream (Ah. Ah, Ah) [x4] (Ah, Ah, Ah) [thru this section]
[06:24.90]I'm coming home,
[06:25.83]I'm coming home , now you can taste it in the wind the war is over
[06:32.49]And I listen to the clicking of the train wheels as we roll across the border
[06:39.51]And now they ask about the time that i was caught behind their time and taken prisoner
[06:46.68]They only held me for a day, a lucky break i say
[06:49.86]They turn and listen closer
[06:54.00]I'll never know,
[06:54.81]I'll never know, why
[06:56.10]I was taken from the line with all the others to board a special train and journey deep into the heart of holy
[07:05.55]Russia And it's cold and damp in the transit camp and the air is still and sullen and the pale sun of
[07:18.27]October whispers the snow will soon be coming
[07:23.67]And I wonder when,
[07:25.47]I'll be home again and the morning answers never
[07:31.08]And the evening sighs and the steely,
[07:34.20]Russian skies go on, forever...
