Lorraine Cross Lyrics


1939, 1940... Europe under a Reich of Evil

1939, 1940... Traitors or heroes, the masks will fall

They are mere peasants or butchers

They are lawyers, cops, or bakers

They're all different but they all have heard a call

Coming from a radio of hope

From the last bastion in Europe

To oppose the warlike order of the downfall

Capitals under the marching boots

Nations threatened to lose their roots

How to break the grip of the iron eagle?

Cause under its domination

Tortures, arrests, executions

They'll have to cope with brothers that have sold their souls

Here they are, and they stand

Desperate resistance

Common heroes, anonymous soldiers

They hold tight in their hands

The country's last chance

To fight, with freedom and honour

Hidden, and brave, the army of shadows

They strive to save

Those doomed to starve to death

In the camps of chaos

They die, they fight and live

For the Lorraine cross

The last mean to fight for justice

Is to join those of the Maquis

Trying to regain a lost and injured pride

But the wheel of fortune will turn

Traitors and monsters have to learn

That they can too be obliged to run and to hide

Here they are, and they stand

Avenging resistance

Common heroes, anonymous martyrs

Thanks to their sacrifice

To their blood and its price

The nation, has regained its dignity

Hidden, and brave, the army of shadows

They strive to save

Those doomed to starve to death

In the camps of chaos

They fight, they die, or live

For the Lorraine cross
