Kursk Thunder

In forty-three, in summer's blaze
Kursk stood strong in iron's haze
German tanks, they came in force
But Soviet lines held their course

Kursk, where steel and thunder clash
Fields of fire, hopes to ash
Brave hearts fought in the dust and heat
Refusing to fall, refusing defeat

Tanks roared on, in Prokhorovka's field
As the earth shook, as iron reeled
Lines were crossed, but strength held true
The Soviet fight cutting through

Kursk, where steel and thunder clash
Fields of fire, hopes to ash
Brave hearts fought in the dust and heat
Refusing to fall, refusing defeat

Tanks roared on, in Prokhorovka's field
As the earth shook, as iron reeled
Lines were crossed, but strength held true
The Soviet fight cutting through

Kursk, where steel and thunder clash
Fields of fire, hopes to ash
Brave hearts fought in the dust and heat
Refusing to fall, refusing defeat

A turning tide on the open plain
Where courage met with war's refrain

August came, the fight was won
The German push now overrun
From Kursk's soil, new hope was sown
A path to freedom's light was shown

Kursk, where steel and thunder clash
Fields of fire, hopes to ash
Through blood and iron, the brave held fast
They stood their ground till the last

In history's mark, their memory stays
A tale of courage in iron's blaze
