Lyrics
(Verse 1)
The year is nineteen thirty-nine, the world holds its breath
A shadow falls on Poland, a harbinger of death
The sirens wail, the skies grow dark, the air is thick with fear
As Nazi tanks roll over the border, the start of a long, bitter year
(Chorus)
September the first, a day of fire and steel
The Wehrmacht's might unleashed, a pact they couldn't conceal
From Danzig to Warsaw, the fight is fierce and long
A struggle for freedom, where right and wrong are strong
(Verse 2)
The Polish people rise, their spirit undeterred
Defending their homeland, every inch of ground is stirred
The Luftwaffe rains fire, the fields are filled with smoke
But the Polish soldiers stand their ground, refusing to break, to choke
(Chorus)
September the first, a day of fire and steel
The Wehrmacht's might unleashed, a pact they couldn't conceal
From Danzig to Warsaw, the fight is fierce and long
A struggle for freedom, where right and wrong are strong
(Bridge)
The world watches in horror, as the Nazi tide sweeps on
The promise of peace shattered, a new world war has begun
The echoes of battle resound, through the dark Polish night
A fight for survival, against all odds, for what is just and right
(Chorus)
September the first, a day of fire and steel
The Wehrmacht's might unleashed, a pact they couldn't conceal
From Danzig to Warsaw, the fight is fierce and long
A struggle for freedom, where right and wrong are strong
(Outro)
The memory of that day, forever etched in time
A reminder of the cost of war, and the struggle to reclaim what is thine
September the first, a day that changed the world's fate
A day of courage, a day of loss, a day we can't abate.
