Leaving all behind
The award is to be found

Like a scene from a dream

And a vision of heavenly might

In the cradle of this war, I know
And that's for sure

There can be only one

I am marching against evil

May the Lord be on our side
[Chorus]

Fm
This inferno turned me blind
There was fire and smoke all around
C#
Dead bodies and blood everywhere
C Fm
In this unholy ground
Fm
Now the future is no more
We're all lost to this vicious whore
C#
When the victory's won
C Fm
I'm a fatherless son
Fm D# G#
We went out to fight for glory
C Fm
Only one of us came home
[Chorus]

Fm D#
I sit here on my porch
G#
As an old and lonely man
C
Sometimes I recall
Fm
When terror struck the land
D#
Was it right to go to arms
G#
To defend the freedom rights
C Fm
I am sure or else I've lived upon a lie
[Chorus]
