Farewell to Africa - Hail of Bullets

Brilliantly performed escape

Divisions in dramatic shape

Rearguard hostilities, anti-tank lines

High speed withdrawal, secured by mines

Demand for replenishments

Gasoline and nourishment

Yet guns rapid firing, the dreadful 88

Inflicting damage, ravage armored plates

Trying to rescue what’s left of his troops

Save them from imprisonment

No further glory in future offensives

Evacuate this continent

Tormented by malady and foul intrigue

The genius forced to depart

Guiding his army till the very end

Fighting bold and hard

(guitar lead: Paul)

One last blow at Kasserine, then vanish from the scene

GI’s fleeing in panic, Tigers on their heels

One more courageous triumph, chaos;

creation of steel

Trying to rescue what’s left of his troops

Save them from imprisonment

No further glory in future offensives

Evacuate this continent

Tormented by malady and foul intrigue

The genius forced to depart

Leaving his valiant and tough 'Afrikaner'

With pain in his heart
