When The Tigers Broke Free Part 1 (1982 Recording) lyrics

[Intro: Welsh Male Voice Choir]

[Verse 1: Roger Waters]
It was just before dawn one miserable morning in Black '44
When the forward commander was told to sit tight
When he asked that his men be withdrawn

[Verse 2: Roger Waters]
And the generals gave thanks as the other ranks held back the enemy tanks for a while
And the Anzio bridgehead was held for the price of a few hundred ordinary lives

[Outro: Welsh Male Voice Choir]
