The Longest Day - Iron Maiden

the longest day

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 the drills 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 flame
no escape, remorseless shrapnel rains
drowning men no chance for a warrior's fate
a choking death enter hell's gate

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
'til we finally make it through
how long on this longest day
'til we finally make it through

how long on this longest day
'til we finally make it through
how long on this longest day
'til 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

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
'til we finally make it through
how long on this longest day
'til we finally make it through

how long on this longest day
'til we finally make it through
how long on this longest day
'til we finally make it through

solo

how long on this longest day
'til we finally make it through
how long on this longest day
'til we finally make it through

how long on this longest day
'til we finally make it through
how long on this longest day
'til we finally make it through

en la penumbra, la acechante tormenta amaina
en los barcos, ojos asustados esperan
la llamada a las armas, para golpear las puertas
hacerles volar en pedazos, devolver al mal a su destino

tantos veranos , para preparar esta maquina
para transformar a los hombres de carne y hueso a puro metal
de soldados de papel a cuerpos en la playa
de arenas de verano, a la culminación del armageddon

overlord , tu señor pero no tu dios
la costa del enemigo, amaneciendo gris rapidamente
esas almas maltrechas, vomitando, temblando de miedo
para recibir una bala por aquellos que les mandan venir

el mundo en llamas, las colinas explotan con fuego
sin escape, una lluvia de metralla sin piedad
hombres ahogandose, sin eleccion para el destino de un guerrero
una muerte asfixiante, entrando a las puertas del infierno

deslizándonos vamos
con tan solo el miedo de nuestro lado
hasta el borde de la alambrada
y nos apresuramos con la marea
el agua esta roja
con la sangre de los muertos
pero yo todavía sigo vivo, rezo a dios para sobrevivir

por cuanto más, en este , el dia más largo
hasta que conseguimos nuestro objetivo

los muertos que se alzan, las caras hinchadas y arrancadas
ellos estan aliviados, los vivos esperan su turno
tu suerte se acabo, esa bala lleva tu nombre
pero tu sigues avazando, de ida y vuelta al infierno

valhalla espera, las walkiryas se alzan y caen
la tumba del guerrero se abre para todos
una mano fantasmal se alza a través del velo
sangre y arena, nosotros prevaleceremos

deslizandonos vamos…
