Not welcome to fight along with others
The 369th regiment from New York
Had to prove themselves over and over again
During the war, no other unit would see
So fierce fighting and none would fight so fierce
If hell had a time and place
It would be the trenches of the Great War
And if hell had soldiers
From a land across the ocean
To the western front, where they served
Fought with courage and devotion
Preconceptions turned
As the spring offensive kept churning
Where the men would earn their name
See the tides of battle turning
And their foes ignite their flame
Hear the toll of the bell
Kept fighting for six months in hell
As the war rages on
They fight at the edge of the Argonne
Hear the toll of the bell, over six months in hell
Out of the trenches they came
As the war rages on, at the edge of the Argonne
Hellfighters earning their name
They would have no prisoners taken
And they never lost any ground
Earned the cross of war unshaken
Never turned around
As the armistice is drawing closer
The 369th
Kept on fighting 'til it was over
And they were first to reach the Rhine
Hear the toll of the bell
Kept fighting for six months in hell
As the war rages on
They fight at the edge of the Argonne
Hear the toll of the bell, over six months in hell
Out of the trenches they came
As the war rages on, at the edge of the Argonne
Hellfighters earning their name
Hear the toll of the bell, over six months in hell
Out of the trenches they came
As the war rages on, at the edge of the Argonne
Hellfighters earning their name
