(Storming Through) A Hail of Steel - Pentacle

My heart is beating in my throat

My nerves are strecthed to the max

My blood is pumping zhrough my veins

My muscles are ready to react

The iron bridge lies in front of me

It’s structure is illuminated by the flares

The land beyond is my target now

To escape from the German revenge

Only a few seconds to go

Before I have to run

Will I make it to the other side

Or will I meet my doom

Colonel Newman gives his order

«Away you go, lads!»

As fast as I can I get on my feed

To storm towards bridge D

Left and right the bullets pass me

Over my head I hear them go

The traces are coming towards me

Yet, there’s no time to duck

Faster and faster my legs move

From the hip I open fire

My bullets are now covering the pillbox

I see my friends fall

Hell is now all around me

Friend and foe, they perish

I open fire at a figure ahead of me

I see he drops his gun

The end of the bridge is in sight

Almost I’ve accomplished my goal

Only a few meters left

Safety is now in reach

Suddenly I notice a German gunner

He points his K98 at me

His finger turns white, the blast of the bullet

Dark is my sight
