I hear the call to arms
I shall answer at once
My brothers, now we march
Toward the sound of the guns
Yes, men will die but I will not be afraid
I remember the words
That my father told me
"My son you must be brave
Your steel must be true
And upon that field of war, my son
You know what you must do"
My Father, my father
Your sons will stand tall
We will return to home
In victory or not at all
For I am no coward
I will laugh at death again
Now onward, my brothers
To our glorious end
Oh, the banners stand so tall
What glory awaits us all
Hurry now, oh brothers
Before the autumn leaves fall
The fight will be done and we shall miss our call
I must prove my mettle
As the warrior true
I'll look my foe in the eye
Then run them through
"Have courage, my son
For I am with you from afar
Your ancestors are watching
Now show them who you are"
My Father, my father
Your sons shall not fail
We'll fight to the last
And our cause will prevail
For I am no coward
I will laugh at death again
Now onward, brave sons
To our glorious end
How we stand so proud and tall
What glory awaits us all
♪
My time has finally come
I will prove myself at last
But I never saw my enemy
When they hit us with the gas
Then I watched my brothers perish
Consumed by the smoke
Faces twist in agony
Clutching ruined throats
As I die among so many
My name is lost in the crowd
As I'm spitting out my lungs
My father, are you proud?
Truly a glorious end
Into a silent tomb I fall
What glory awaits us all
Tell me Father, have you lied?
This is no way for a soldier to die
Was there a meaning when I fell?
Where is the glory?
Where is the glory for me?
