Verse 1[edit]
The call came out and I answered strong
For Patria rose I up
I was born with destruction in my heart
And gladly drank of this cup
Verse 2[edit]
Proudly I donned the graith of war
My duty knew I full well
The rifle's crucifer was I sent forth
Into the killing realm
When with the foe we fought and slew
We communed there in the mud
Our bodies were the Eucharist
And our baptism our blood
Verse 3[edit]
God, please help me
I'm at your mercy
Don't want to be here
Don't want to die here
God, please save me
I'm at your mercy
Don't want to see this
Don't want to be this
Verse 4[edit]
Out of the ground we crawl like ants
The foeman takes his aim
Cut down like the grass of the field, I will die
In the mud from whence I came
No requiem for these boys who fall
But the gunfire's constant rattle
No prayers are said here for the dead
For these men who die as cattle
