---

We march through snow-covered fields

Replacing the wounded that met their defeat

In shortage of ammo and winter clothes

Sent to defend the crossroad at Bastogne

Meeting our destiny, writing the history

Krauts and Panzers are riding on!



(Chorus)

The whistle of the steel

Blasting shells

Our comrades are falling

Frostbitten prayers

And fire at the Ardennes



“The 16th of December of 1944, the 3rd Reich launched a surprise attack against the Allied forces set at the western-borders of Germany.

They moved forward across Belgium and Luxembourg, trusting on speed and looting to strike fast and reach the port of Antwerp,

cutting off supplies to both the British and the American Army.

The 101st Airborne Division of the US Army was sent to defend a major crossroad at the small village of Bastogne,

which would be completely circled by german troops for several weeks under freezing winter weather.

When General McAuliffe of the 101st was asked to surrender to avoid the annihilation of his men,

his answer was: NUTS!”



Hiding in foxholes, rattling teeth

And painfully suffering from trench feet

We see a flare, bright over the snow

A signal of mortars starting to blow!



(Chorus)



The artillery

Fires again

Desperate callings

Frostbitten prayers

And fire at the Ardennes
