20 Kilometers lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics 20 Kilometers lyrics Divisions stand at the border prepared for the Eastern trek Operation Barbarossa is launched into full effect The border is crossed, the assault begins, massed in furious waves The spark is lit, the shelling starts, blitzkrieg sets the stage Over the marshes and the plains The panzers start to roll Death from above raining missiles The stukas take their toll The brave soldiers of Europe Set out to join the East and West Against the red dragon Mother Eurpoe sent her best With full speed ahead, they were gaining ground Into the heart of the enemy They liberated the villages and towns from the yoke of tyranny They were welcomed as heros, over the cities their standard flew It was mass victory in the East in the summer of 42 They drove on with amazing speed Until they were outside Moscows gates They had the kremlin in their sights But they didn t know what hell awaits Victory was so close in their grasp For their volk, their nation and their blood Then the rain set in for endless days Turning the ground to mud Chorus: There s 20 more kilometers to go As the November rains turn into snow Just 20 more kilometers to go So near, yet so far from delivering the final blow Their move was coming to a halt, They were running out of supplies Their tanks immobile in the mud, The earth was swallowing them alive The cold set in, freezing the men, General winter reared his head Yet the fight was on in this frozen land That claimed so many dead The Bolslevik resistance grew Their manpower and supplies had no end Now the attacking soldiers of Europe Had to turn to defend Against Asiatic hordes enforced By allied supplies How could the allies support communism And it s Marxist lies? (Repeat Chorus) x2 20 more kilometers to go... song lyrics
