U-boats on the prowl in the north Atlantic
Fully provisioned and quietly waiting
A pair of shots at Sarajevo
The hope for peace is quickly fading
Trenches stretch across all of the countryside
The world we'll win is where millions have fought and died
The map will be changed by all of the treaties signed
They must be out of their minds
The needle is pushed to the red zone
The rope has been pulled to the breaking point
The pressure has built and it's going to blow now
The cable has snapped and we're on our way down
The needle is pushed to the red zone
The needle is pushed to the red
A column of armor is on the march
Tensions mount and push passions higher
Capitulation in an ancient rail car
A pilot scambles to a waiting Spitfire
Backs to the water at Dunkirk and then the Elbe
The world we'll win is where angels fear to dwell
Harry isn't joking when he says let's give them hell
CHORUS
A firefight in Nicaragua
Angloa flares with armed resistance
Tunnels being found under South Korea
Who will be the next to go the distance?
Trenches will stratch across all of the countryside
The world we'll win is where millions will have to die
The map will be changed and not just by drawing lines
The world must be out of its mind
CHORUS
The cable has snapped and we're on our way down
The rope has been pulled to the breaking point
The pressure has built and it's going to blow now
The needle is pushed to the red zone
