Counterstrike recounts the event of the Six-Day War between Israel and neighbouring Arabs countries.
[Verse 1]
Kickstart fighter launch
Throttle set to full
Speed king, race to win
Afterburners roaring
Ghostlike counterstrike
Takes them by surprise
Score 307
Israelis rule the heaven
Jordan attack
Israel crush that
Futile attempt
Control Jerusalem
[Verse 2]
Drive back surprise attack
Take the Western Wall
Next day make them pay
Over River Jordan
Syria last in line
Head for Golan Heights
Strike without a warning
See the Syria forces falling
Syria attacked
Israel crushed their
Lines of defence
Ruling the Golan Heights
[Chorus]
6 days of fire, 1 day of rest
June '67 taught them respect
Control Jerusalem
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
3 nations fallen in 6 days of war
Traitorous neighbours, received as deserved
Under the sun in the dust of the war
1 nation standing stronger than before
First into Egypt and sent them to hell
Then turned their forces to Jordan
Climb up the mountains, where Syria awaits
Break them in hours, protect Holy Land
[Chorus]
6 days of fire, 1 day of rest
June '67 taught them respect
Control Jerusalem
6 days of fire, 1 day of rest
June '67 taught them respect
Control Jerusalem
