20 Kilometers Lyrics - Singles - Bound For Glory

Divisions stand at the border prepared for the Eastern trek 

Operation Barbarossa is launched into full effect 

The border is crossed, the assault begins, massed in furious waves 

The spark is lit, the shelling starts, blitzkrieg sets the stage 

Over the marshes and the plains 

The panzers start to roll 

Death from above raining missiles 

The stukas take their toll 

The brave soldiers of Europe 

Set out to join the East and West 

Against the red dragon 

Mother Eurpoe sent her best 

With full speed ahead, they were gaining ground 

Into the heart of the enemy 

They liberated the villages and towns from the yoke of tyranny 

They were welcomed as heros, over the cities their standard flew 

It was mass victory in the East in the summer of 42 

They drove on with amazing speed 

Until they were outside Moscows gates 

They had the kremlin in their sights 

But they didn't know what hell awaits 

Victory was so close in their grasp 

For their volk, their nation and their blood 

Then the rain set in for endless days 

Turning the ground to mud 

Chorus: 

There's 20 more kilometers to go 

As the November rains turn into snow 

Just 20 more kilometers to go 

So near, yet so far from delivering the final blow 

Their move was coming to a halt, 

They were running out of supplies 

Their tanks immobile in the mud, 

The earth was swallowing them alive 

The cold set in, freezing the men, 

General winter reared his head 

Yet the fight was on in this frozen land 

That claimed so many dead 

The Bolslevik resistance grew 

Their manpower and supplies had no end 

Now the attacking soldiers of Europe 

Had to turn to defend 

Against Asiatic hordes enforced 

By allied supplies 

How could the allies support communism 

And its Marxist lies? 

(Repeat Chorus) x2 

20 more kilometers to go...
