Day of Days - L.A.I.D. / Suno

On the eve of June 5th, a solemn night
Knowing the next sunrise could be our last light
Higgins boats and LSTs, ready in force
Leaving the bone white cliffs of Dover on course

Day of Days, Operation Overlord begun
Day of Days, Our finest hour has come
Storming the blood red beaches of Normandy
With M1 Garands and Shermans, confronting the enormity

Boys become immortal men on this shore
As German 88s and MG42s roar
Omaha, Sword, Gold, Juno and Utah Beach
Brave souls charge forward, their destinies to reach

Scaling the Pointe du Hoc with grappling hooks
Rangers push inland, defying the odds
Hedgerows and Tobruks, a fierce blocking force
But Allied determination will not change course

Turning the tide with blood, sweat and tears
Typhoons and Thunderbolts strike, the Reich's end nears
A foothold in France, the beachhead is ours
The strength of free men against tyranny towers

The Day of Days becomes the longest night
But dawn will emerge from these fires of fight
Raising the Stars and Stripes, a glimmer of hope
D-Day paved the road to victory's abode
