Murder at your every foot step. A child's toy sudden death.
Sniper blazes you thru your knees Falling down can you feel the heat,
Burn! Ambushed by the spray of lead Count the bullet holes in your head.
Offspring sent out to cry, Living mandatory suicide. Suicide. [x4]
Holes burn deep in your chest, Raked by machine gun fire.
Screaming soul sent out to die, Living mandatory suicide. Suicide. [x 4]
Lying, dying, screaming in pain. Begging, pleading, bullets drop like rain.
Mines explode, pain sheers through your brain, Radical amputation,
this is insane.
Fly swatter stakes drive through your chest. Spikes impale you as you're forced off the crest. Soldier of misfortune Hunting with bated breath.
A vile smell, like tasting death. Dead bodies, dying and wounded
Litter the city streets Shattered glass, bits of clothing and human deceit.
Dying [in] terror, Blood's cheap, it's everywhere.
Mandatory suicide, massacre on the front line. (sing365)

Normandy Invasion
The Normandy landings, were the landing operations of the Allied invasion of Normandy, in Operation Overlord, during World War II. The landings commenced on Tuesday, June 6, 1944
The landings were conducted in three phases: an airborne assault landing of 24,000 British, American, Canadian and Free Frenchairborne troops shortly after midnight, and an amphibious landing of Allied infantry and armoured divisions on the coast of France starting at 6:30 AM. There were also decoy operations under the codenames Operation Glimmer and Operation Taxable to distract the German forces from the real landing areas.
Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces was General Dwight Eisenhower while overall command of ground forces was given to General Bernard Montgomery. The operation, planned by a team under Lieutenant-General Frederick Morgan, was the largest amphibious invasion in world history and was executed by land, sea, and air elements under direct British command with over 160,000 troops landing on June 6, 1944. 195,700 Allied naval and merchant navy personnel in over 5,000 ships were involved. The invasion required the transport of soldiers and material from the United Kingdom by troop-laden aircraft and ships, the assault landings, air support, naval interdiction of the English Channel and naval fire-support. The landings took place along 50-mile stretch of Normandy coast. (wikipedia)
