Market Garden by Just Before Dawn Lyrics
A bold plan forged by the British
The scattered German army is retreating
Main objective's to bypass the Siegfried Line
And to end the war in the west
The biggest airborne operation yet
Forces were pulled out of the reserve
Eager to enter the battle
They will do their part, and shorten the war
Three airborne divisions
With a mission to capture the crossings
An operation past the enemy lines
Market Garden
Five bridges as the main objective
With a purpose to cross the Rhine
Heading toward the industrial heart
The 1st airborne at Arnhem
Is it a brides too far?
The "Market"'s part must not fail
Got to wait for the ground reinforcements
"Garden" - a crucial part of victory
Dropping straight into the fire
Shortly spotted by the enemy
AA guns blazing, at the landing zones
Withstanding heavy losses
To end the war in 1944
With resolution to complete the task
Eager to force out the Axis
And deliver the final, decisive blow
Three airborne divisions
With a mission to capture the crossings
An operation past the enemy lines
Market Garden
Five bridges as the main objective
With a purpose to cross the Rhine
Heading toward the industrial heart
The 1st airborne at Arnhem
Operation Market Garden
The 1st airborne, into the fire
The communications are lost
And the ammunition is running out
Against the superior forces and armor
Holding the ground at any cost
In Market Garden
A daring plan forged by the British
Was the Siegfried line bypassed?
A division devastated by Arnhem
The scattered German army is retreating
Main objective's to bypass the Siegfried Line
And to end the war in the west
The biggest airborne operation yet
Forces were pulled out of the reserve
Eager to enter the battle
They will do their part, and shorten the war
Three airborne divisions
With a mission to capture the crossings
An operation past the enemy lines
Market Garden
Five bridges as the main objective
With a purpose to cross the Rhine
Heading toward the industrial heart
The 1st airborne at Arnhem
Is it a brides too far?
The "Market"'s part must not fail
Got to wait for the ground reinforcements
"Garden" - a crucial part of victory
Dropping straight into the fire
Shortly spotted by the enemy
AA guns blazing, at the landing zones
Withstanding heavy losses
To end the war in 1944
With resolution to complete the task
Eager to force out the Axis
And deliver the final, decisive blow
Three airborne divisions
With a mission to capture the crossings
An operation past the enemy lines
Market Garden
Five bridges as the main objective
With a purpose to cross the Rhine

Operation Market Garden
The 1st airborne, into the fire
