Topic: The Siege Of Bastogne......new song!
ok guys here ya go.......new tune complete with epic storyline, sound effects, massive face melting gtr solo, old school 70's keyboard solo, the sounds of war.....it's got it all!!!!!!!
i've always been fascinated by WWII from a historical perspective......and stuff like the Band of Brothers story just gets to me in a big way. So, i have finally been able to write about that.
this song was written by me and two of my buddies. The lyrics are about 55% from a public property poem about the battle and 45% of my own creation.
I sing the song, play bass, do the outro gtr solo and most of the sound fx.
my friend skizzy does rhythm gtr's and the main solo
my friend beaver does all the keys

The Siege Of Bastogne
Crops shall be full, in Belgium next year
Soil should be fertile, but the price has been dear
Wheat will be red, on the hills of Bastogne
For it’s roots have been drenched, with the blood of our own
Battered and reeling, we stand in their way
It’s here we are, and here we’ll stay
Embittered, wrathful, we watch our friends die
Where is the end, the end of it all
In Bastogne
No one comes home
Confident and powerful they strike at our lines
Beating them back, fighting for time
Blinded with fury, they are hitting us now
Flesh against steel, we’ll hold, but how?
Each day we stay, mother’s will grieve
Each hill we hold, more men must leave
Honor the dead, that gave their souls
But pray for us now
It’s the Siege of Bastogne
No one comes home
In the Siege of Bastogne
No one comes home
Sounds of panzers in the wind
It’s the longest winter, will it ever end
In Bastogne?
