Shadows Of El Alamein

In nineteen forty-two, October's heat
In desert sands where armies meet
Montgomery led the Allied force
Against Rommel's tanks on a deadly course

The Axis pushed to claim the land
But Allies stood with a firm command
Through desert nights and scorching days
They fought in dust, in fire's blaze

El Alamein, where the desert roars
Through sand and fire on foreign shores
A turning point, a fierce defense
The fight for freedom, so on foreign shores

A turning point, a fierce defense
The fight for freedom, so intense

They clashed by night, as shells would rain
A line held firm at El Alamein
Rommel's tanks broke on Allied lines
Through barbed wire, through buried mines

With flares that lit the desert sky
They faced the fight, prepared to die
From dawn to dusk, the struggle stayed
In every trench and line they laid

El Alamein, where the desert roars
Through sand and fire on foreign shores
A turning point, a fierce defense
The fight for freedom, so intense

For twelve long days, they held the ground
Till Rommel's forces were worn down

November came, the Axis fell
A victory marked by desert's spell
The Allies pushed, the tide had turned
In desert sands, a lesson learned

El Alamein, where courage stayed
In desert's heat, where freedom played
A turning point, a fierce defense
The fight for freedom so in foreign shores
El Alamein, where courage stayed
And desert heat for freedom played
A turning point, a victory flare
A battle remembered, year by year

In sands of Egypt, their names remain
Heroes of El Alamein
