*Inspired by the historical storytelling and solemn grandeur of Sabaton, especially Poltava.*
[Verse I]
May seventeenth, the skies aflame
Northern thunder spoke its name
Columns marched through wind and rain
Toward the harbor once again
Storm clouds gathered over town
Armored forces thundered down
Smoke and fire filled the bay
History was forged that day
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold the line
Hear the guns
Through the storm
The battle comes
[Chorus]
(Paleto)
Thunder rolling through the rain
(Paleeto)
Northern bastions swept away
(Paleto)
EDC secured the bay
Paleeto
[Verse II]
Rotor blades above the fray
Gunships swept the field that day
Armored columns crossed the plain
Striking hard through smoke and rain
Casualties on every side
Still the northern line held wide
Helicopters fell in flame
Burning wrecks where once they came
[Pre-Chorus]
Tank by tank
The assault was stayed
Steel and will
Would not break
[Chorus]
(Paleto)
Thunder rolling through the rain
(Paleto)
US and Concorde forced away
(Paleto)
EDC secured the bay
Paleto
[Bridge]
Smoke above the northern shore
One more battle in the war
When the guns at last grew still
Silence settled on the hill
Broken armor, twisted blades
Fallen soldiers where they lay
One more page in blood was made
On the shores of Paleto Bay
[Final Chorus]
(Paleto)
Thunder rolling through the rain
(Paleto)
Northern bastions swept away
(Paleto)
EDC secured the bay
Paleto
(Paleto)
May seventeenth in blood and rain
(Paleto)
Armies met at Paleto Bay
(Paleto)
History would know the name
Paleto
[Outro]
(Paleeto)
Half returned through blood and rain
(Paleto)
Countless dead on field and plain
(Paleto)
Sacrificed their lives in vain
Paleto
Stahlkrieg
