Lyrics
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.
