The sunset glimmered as a blade. Death was counting its toll. Fight is tomorrow but for now Squad disappears in the cloud Up to the pass to keep it on. Stop talking and move forward, We’ll see as we go up. These mountains are ours They gonna help us out! Before the war this very slope Your German buddy climbed for fun! He peeled off to be saved by rope And now he may be up ahead With fully loaded machine gun. Stop talking and move forward, We’ll see as we go up. These mountains are ours, They gonna help us out! The squad is climbing higher up, Your second’s waiting by the river. We long for this attack to start But mountaineers from the Alps Have little spirit to deliver. Stop talking and move forward, We’ll see as we go up. These mountains are ours, They gonna help us out! You’re back again, you’ all composed, Awaiting for command to start it. And that same fella’s here, too. With Edelweiss, as if on cue. We have to throw them off the summit! Stop talking and move forward, We’ll see as we go up. These mountains are ours, They gonna help us out!
