In mettle, in pure gallantry They storm by foot to war Muskets set, blades sharp and strong To fight in blood and gore The tyrant entices them with gold Chance anew at life But those poor souls, they never knew They’re in for woe and strife With pride inlaid within their hearts They bid their wives goodbye. In agony, in shadow black They’ll soon fall and they’ll die And ask themselves on verge of death What was it worth it for? To march away and give their lives Away to death at war

Soldiers
In mettle, in pure gallantry They storm by foot to war Muskets set, blades sharp and strong To fight in blood and gore The tyrant entices them with gold Chance anew at life But those poor souls, they never knew They’re in for woe and strife With pride inlaid within their hearts They bid their wives goodbye. In agony, in shadow black They’ll soon fall and they’ll die And ask themselves on verge of death What was it worth it for? To march away and give their lives Away to death at war
