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 B G A
All summer long the drills to build the machine to turn men from flesh n blood to steel
Bm G A B 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 B G A
The world's alight the cliffs erupt in flame no escape remorseless shrapnel rains
Bm G A B 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 B G A
Valhalla waits Valkyries rise and fall the warrior tombs lie open for us all
Bm G A B G A
A ghostly hand reaches through the veil blood and sand we will prevail
Pre-Chorus 2:
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 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?
