Glorious End

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?
