A bridge too far Lyrics

In the year 1944

The allies planned a military operation

To create a salient into the germans territory

With a bridgehead over the river rhein

But the mission failed to secure the bridgehead

Thousands of soldiers on each side died

And even today this battle was remembered

As the battle of arnheim

Faster than the wind

The operation will begin

Into the eye of the storm

An airborne assault

To seize the keypoints

To create the salient

Into the reich

Secure the lines

And cross the rhein

A bridge too far

Operation market garden

Operation market garden

Falling in the wehrmacht´s fire

Unable to hold

Operation market garden

Operation market garden

Take the rhein for the bridgehead

Only dying for

Arnheim

Secure the lines

And cross the rhein

A bridge too far

Allied soldiers were cut off

And burning tanks block the bridgehead

But the soldiers don´t give up

Preparing for a desperate attack
