20 Kilometers

Division 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 missles
The stukas take their toll
The brave soldiers of Europe
Set out to join the east and west
Against the Red dragon
Mother Europe 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 heroes, 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 Moscow's gates
They had the kremlin in their sites
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

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 his frozen land
That claimed so many dead

The Bolshevik 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?
