Well Monty's hatched a plan that could win the war
We have a noble cause we all fight for
Three hundred gliders and our paratroops drop in
September 17th, let this battle begin
Outnumbered in the dark we fight around a vital bridge
It's just a bridge too far, we're faced with blood & carnage
They come in droves and oh the pain is dealt inside
Freedom's plight
We're battle hardened
At Market Garden
Up from the Ardennes
Market Garden
Now in our second day, the twilight zone
No thoughts of family, no thoughts of home
I'm tired, hungry and our stocks are running low
We have a job to do but we are all alone
Outnumbered in the dark we fight around a vital bridge
It's just a bridge too far, we're faced with blood & carnage
They come in droves and oh the pain is dealt inside
Freedom's plight
We're battle hardened
At Market Garden
Up from the Ardennes
Market Garden
Maybe a week has passed, we're but a few
The time has faded fast, the lives have too
I hear them coming and I fear I cannot move
We fought so gallantly, we fought this war for you
Outnumbered in the dark we fight around a vital bridge
It's just a bridge too far, we're faced with blood & carnage
They come in droves and oh the pain is dealt inside
Freedom's plight
We're battle hardened
At Market Garden
Up from the Ardennes
Market Garden
