As they march across the land

To face their enemy

On their journey, all alone

To meet their destiny

 

As they look towards the sun

And hear the battle cry

Souls scream out in deadly pain

As they fall and drop and die

 

Bullets fly all through the air

Just landing feet away

Bodies lie all around

As the rest begin to pray

 

As they fight on through the night

A hundred men or more

Will they see the rising sun

They ask, does someone know

 

Their friends begin to lose the fight

As they fall down by their side

Dying, looking at the sky

With their eyes open wide

 

As the battle rages on

When will the end begin

With all the might that they have left

To conquer, triumph and win
