lyrics

We have won!
Today is a victorious day.
Safe behind a stone wall
on a sunken road,
we patiently waited to kill.
Then every one of us saw
those vandals loot our home;
we eagerly hungered to kill.
Just as they raped our town
we will blast them down.
Today is a victorious day.

Aurora, aurora!
Heaven celebrates us tonight.
And when the next battle comes,
the angels will rejoice again.
We've got walls that no Yank can climb.

6:15,
today's a deleterious day.
We were ordered to cross
that barren expanse;
ate grass as we hid in a hole.
But for every man lost,
there're another ten who stand
back home, though not all will hold.
The rest, this lesson learned,
may see success return.
Today's a deleterious day.

Aurora, aurora!
We have been abandoned tonight.
This bitter battle hymn hummed
by us boys who've now all dug in-
we've got a cause: to end this fight.

One hundred years from now, there won't be a body on the ground
and the blood will have soaked into the soil.

One man knows
today is a laborious day.
Hearing his foes drown out
the celebration,
he flew over that safe stone divide.
He barely touched the ground
running between the men
grey and blue who moaned and cried.
While at first they fired,
all were soon inspired.
Today is a glorious day!

Aurora, aurora!
Humanity rejoices tonight.
Surviving the shots of some,
preserved by only one's actions:
the Angel of Marye's Heights.
