Helsinki 1939

歌詞

The last day of November in 1939 The early winter has painted the city white As day turns to night and Skies clear above People below will Fight to stay alive The sunlight vanishes and leaves the city bare The lights are killed and the traffic is rare As heavy silence Fills the ground From the east The sky unleashes the beast The monstrous roaring of the bombers Fills the moonlit sky The fear among the men grows bigger Unsure if they're gonna die The overwhelming size of the Soviet fleet Prepares to drop its load The pitch black city hidden down below Prepares to take a blow A Soviet pilot tries to see the target In the pitch black night The A-A fire lights the sky in flames Right before the plane In fear he drops the bombs and turns away As flak tears the sides As the first bombs hit the ground The inferno is unleashed The wail of death from above They hear the screams everywhere The dying cries of children Somebody screams: Incoming! The air raid siren cries midst of mayhem All around the chaos unfolds Bloody remains of dead civilians Grief of the people left alive Smoke arises from burning rubble Inside the trapped children cry How could their father save them now He's at frontline dying too Save their souls Mend our ways May their souls Rest in peace When the sun begins to rise The full destruction is seen Death is present everywhere But things could be worse The government buildings still intact Most of the bombs dropped to sea Dread tonight's second attack Blood on their hands they're coming back Will we learn From our past May our scars Heal in time The first day of the bombings slowly came to end A feeling of relief is felt throughout the town Only to find out That the coming night Would make the capital Face death again
