Iron Maiden - The Longest Day

simple video i made with scenes from saving private ryan and awesome maiden music.
**expand for lyrics**

====================================
In the gloom the gathering storm abates
In the ships gimlet eyes await
The call to arms to hammer at the gates
To blow them wide throw evil to its fate

All summers long the drills to build the machine
To turn men from flesh and blood to steel
From paper soldiers to bodies on the beach
From summer sands to Armageddon's reach

Overlord, your master not your God
The enemy coast dawning grey with scud
These wretched souls puking, shaking fear
To take a bullet for those who sent them here

The world's alight, the cliffs erupt in flame
No escape, remorseless shrapnel rains
Drowning men no chance for a warriors fate
A choking death, enter hell's gates

Sliding we go, only fear on our side
To the edge of the wire
And we rush with the tide
All the water is red
With the blood of the dead
Although I'm still alive, pray to God I survive

How long on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through
How long on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through
How long on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through
How long on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through

The rising dead, faces bloated torn
They are relieved, the living wait their turn
Your number's up, the bullet's got your name
You still go on, to hell and back again

Valhalla waits, valkyries rise and fall
The warrior tombs lie open for us all
A ghostly hand reaches through the veil
Blood and sand, we will prevail

Sliding we go, only fear on our side
To the edge of the wire
And we rush with the tide
Oh the water is red
With the blood of the dead
But I'm still alive, pray to God I survive

How long on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through
How long on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through
How long on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through
How long on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through

How long on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through
How long on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through
How long on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through
How long on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through

GODLIKE song !!!! But this movie represents the German as the "Villains", showing only the point of view of the American soldiers, who are the "Heroes" of the movie.

[MsDekhea]

PerFect :D I like this song !! we love Ironmaidennn XD

[psgouros1979]

up the irons from athens!!!!!

[rebelspoon]

I thought 'the longest day' was about the battle of Dunkirk

[Weibkoln]

@flanders1970 And with -=(*bring back all the dead*)=-

I mean;

Bring them back to life!

...

But I had no space to type that anymore ^^

[Weibkoln]

@flanders1970 The allies are good and wrong, caused by the fact that there are good and bad persons in it,The axis are good and wrong to, also caused by the fact that there are good and bad persons in it!

Every man or female who sends more then 10000 people to hell,

is a tiran,nomatter when his name is Chirchil, Jesus Christ or Hitler!

So also at that perspective both sides are just as wrong!

Trust me, the most Germans would (if they had the possibility) bring back all the dead

of all sides

@YunkiOSG "Heroes" who needed one of the worlds smallest country to save them :3

[kurtkristdave07]

Happy Birthday Janick Gers

[jalomursu]

I just noticed... 1:33... there's a slight mixing mistake isn't there?

[kaas94]

@flanders1970 in WW1 and 2 young Germans where forced to go in the army or else they would either get killed or end in jail. Most soldiers in German army weren't even nazis and didn't want to fight. It is the high commanders who are the bad guys.

[YunkiOSG]

@flanders1970 the ONLY bad guy was Hitler. His soldiers were cheated by him.

[flanders1970]

@YunkiOSG Yah, the Germans were definitely the good guys... WTF? They started it and the allies ended it!
