Septembre 1939

Chorus: September 1939, Manhattan, a night forever engraved, In the flames of the explosion, our destinies were entwined. Shards of life, shadows, forgotten heroes, September 1939, where our lives were upheaved. Verse 1: In the Manhattan bar, under the moonlight and beer's cheer, General Bonnet, with a proud smile, shed light so clear. Kikou, the nurse, a symbol of courage and care, In the glow of the cake, a connection, a destiny, a need shared. Chorus: September 1939, Manhattan, a night forever engraved, In the flames of the explosion, our destinies were entwined. Shards of life, shadows, forgotten heroes, September 1939, where our lives were upheaved. Verse 2: Under the dark sky, the echoes of terror, In the bar's wreckage, a cry, a heart's flicker. The Chief Warrant Officer, the stone, the creeping pain, A choice, a burden, a promise unfurling in the rain. Chorus: September 1939, Manhattan, a night forever engraved, In the flames of the explosion, our destinies were entwined. Shards of life, shadows, forgotten heroes, September 1939, where our lives were upheaved. Verse 3: In the duty's shadow, the Major's voice rings loud, A shattered dream, a call, reality's heavy shroud. Between the lines, the nurse's laughter, the lightness, A suspended moment, a kiss, a shared brightness. Chorus: September 1939, Manhattan, a night forever engraved, In the flames of the explosion, our destinies were entwined. Shards of life, shadows, forgotten heroes, September 1939, where our lives were upheaved. Outro: In the silence of memories, in the shadows of tales, September 1939, a story, a moment, a spirit that prevails. In our hearts, eternally etched, the Manhattan bar, September 1939, where it all began, where it all fades afar.
