Verse 1

Em C D Em C D In the gloom the gathering storm abates in the ships gimlet eyes await Em C D Em C D The call to arms to hammer at the gates to blow them wide throw evil to its fate Bm G A Bm G A All summer long the drills to build the machine to turn men from flesh and blood to steel Bm G A Bm G A From paper soldiers to bodies on the beach from summer sands to Armageddon's reach Em C D Em C D Em Overlord your master not your god the enemy coast dawning Grey with scud Em C D Em C D These wretched souls pukin shakin fear to take a bullet for those who sent them here Bm G A Bm G A The world's alight the cliffs erupt in flame no escape remorseless shrapnel rains Bm G A Bm G A Drowning men no chance for a warrior's fate a choking death enter hell's gate

Pre-Chorus 1

Em C G D Sliding we go, only fear on our side Em C G D To the edge of the wire and we rush with the tide Em C G D Oh the water is red with the blood of the dead Em C G D But I'm still alive pray to god I survive

Chorus 1

C Em D Em C Em D How long on this longest day til we finally make it through? C Em D Em C Em D How long on this longest day til we finally make it through?

Verse 2

Em C D Em C D The rising dead faces bloated torn they are relieved the living wait their turn Em C D Em C D Your numbers up the bullets got your name you still go on to hell and back again Bm G A Bm G A Valhalla waits Valkyries rise and fall the warrior tombs lie open for us all Bm G A Bm G A A ghostly hand reaches through the veil blood and sand we will prevail

Pre-Chorus 2

C Em D Em C Em D How long on this longest day til we finally make it through? C Em D Em C Em D How long on this longest day til we finally make it through? (till fade)
