The Brave Boys of Normandy

The Brave Boys of Normandy

Brave Boys of Normandy
In remembrance

Β We braved the walls of waves in droves
so far across the sea.
As mounting terror now arose,
we'd fight for victory.
Β 

Recruits poured in from far and wide;
each knew that God was on their side
to help us quell the Nazi tide

Β 
Β so people could live free.

Our LCPs soon hit the shore;
the doors fell open wide,
as hails of bullets rent and tore;
so many good men died.

β€œGo lads!” was screamed above the squall
β€œMay God be with you, one and all!”
Yet hundreds more were soon to fall

Β 
before we left the sea.

The Nazi guns were dug in deep;
such chaos they would causeβ€”
as inch by inch, we crawled and creeped
reminded of this clause:
Β 
β€˜Wherever evil reigns supreme
beneath a fascist’s foul regime
we’ll squash all hatred so extreme…

Β 
God bless our righteous cause!’

One by one, the batteries fell;
the Huns were on the run.
β€œHey, boys, let’s send β€˜em back to Hell;
we’ve got it, lads, they're done!”

Β As I gazed out across the beach
where bloodied bodies lay in heaps,
I wondered if peace could be reached.

Β 
Β When would this war be won?

The war did endβ€”we went back home,
to shattered hopes and dreams.
Still, I return to red soaked loam,
my soul’s still there, it seems.

At seventeen, I went to war.
Now Hitler’s Third Reich is no moreβ€”
I learned to hate, but little more,

Β 
still haunted by the screams…
