Deep in the field A lone soldier stands With mud on his boot And blood on his hands They left him behind
To bury the dead And to say a few words on behalf of the leadership
Pardon me, boys If I slip off my pack And sit for a while with you I´d like to explain Why you fine young men had to be blown apart To defend this mud hole
Now our country, boys Though it´s quite far away Found itself jeopardized Endangered, boys By these very gooks Who lie here beside you Forever near
Forever
We´d like to express Our deep admiration For your courage under fire And your willingness to die For your country, boys We won´t forget We won´t forget
