Am He marches through theEm barricades and fights across the Gline

 He’s not allowed to Ddream of where he could be

~

 Cause Cshe’s at home and Amcrying for him

COne wrong move is Amall it takes to

EmTake a life Daway

 He’ll keep Cmarching,

 He’ll keep Amfighting till the Emsun appears again

 He’ll never Cstop but

 It’ll be Amworth it in the Em

 He wouldn’t Cchange a thing cause

AmHe helped them surEmvive

 In the Cdark

 In the Amlight

 In the Emwar that he just came from

 Right to the eCnd

 He will Amfight

 Until Emeverything is done

 He’ll keep Cmarching in the Amsand

 To the Emsound of the old drum band

 That is Cwaiting for Amhim to come Emhome

 And the Embeat of the old drum band

 Plays out Cmelodies of Amthose that want him Emhome
