September 26, 1939 Newsy Bits Lyrics

In Tomaszów Lubelski, the battle's fierce embrace

Polish forces faced surrender, in a bittersweet grace

Werner von Fritsch honoured, with a solemn military rite

Berlin's mourning shadows, in the darkest of the night

Aircraft downed in the skies, a clash of steel and might

British victory declared, in the fading light

French Communist Party silenced, in the echoes of the drum

A world in turmoil, decisions cold and glum

Amidst the fallen aircraft, in the waves and in the air

Heroes and sacrifices, in the stories that we bear

France's ban of the Reds, a political decree

In the dance of ideologies, where shadows long to flee

Aircraft downed in the skies, a clash of steel and might

British victory declared, in the fading light

French Communist Party silenced, in the echoes of the drum

A world in turmoil, decisions cold and glum

In the funerals and bans, in the battles and the flight

In the choices of the nations, in the struggle and the fight

Tomaszów's surrender, Fritsch's honoured rest

In the whirlwind of history, in the trials we attest

Aircraft downed in the skies, a clash of steel and might

British victory declared, in the fading light

French Communist Party silenced, in the echoes of the drum

A world in turmoil, decisions cold and glum

On September twenty-six, the tales of loss and might

In the tapestry of memory, in the songs of flight

May their stories live on, in the echoes of the past

In the hope for peace and unity, in the world's new cast

Aircraft downed in the skies, a clash of steel and might

British victory declared, in the fading light

French Communist Party silenced, in the echoes of the drum

A world in turmoil, decisions cold and glum
