| The telegram came today
|
| It’s taking me far away
|
| Away from the ones I love
|
| I put my faith in God above
|
| We march towards the sound of distant guns
|
| White fire lighting up the sky
|
| We came to fight and die in fields of blood
|
| We follow the call to arms
|
| I’ll write you every day
|
| Hope our love won’t fade away
|
| You give me strength to carry on
|
| Until the final day is done
|
| This hell, this hell is where we live and die
|
| We fall, comrades by our side
|
| We pray to make it through another day
|
| To follow the call to arms
|
| If I die, please don’t forget me
|
| If I live, I wanna live free
|
| We pray to God these days will end
|
| And bring us back safe to your arms
|
| I saved all your letters
|
| I keep them pressed close to my heart
|
| And they won’t stop a bullet
|
| They just keep me closer to you than apart
|
| We live
|
| We gotta live free
|
| We die
|
| Remember me
|
| We pray
|
| To make it through another day
|
| To follow the call to arms
|
| A telegram came today
|
| It’s taking me far away
|
| Away from the ones I love
|
| I put my faith in God above |
