A warrior to the end
Gaining new grounds by the day
Now the strength no longer aim or fire
Static machine guns of no significance
Termites now a battalion to conquer
A fight to the end
Dare to challenge the dead
Where is your victory?
With helmets and boots on carcass
The strength no longer aim or fire
Waiting for the last order
Or standing by to blast another
Orders never to be given
Compliance running to zero
This was once a hero
Regalia gradually decaying
Fighter long given in
But the final order
Is yet to be given
An end to a means
A fight to finish
A parade by the dead
To bury on their own
And then an enlistment
The battle on course
A warrior indeed
Warrior to the end
A fighter in every respect
On land, at sea and in the air
Armed from head to toe
A lonesome warrior of no battalion
Who cares about an unknown soldier?
Another unclaimed corpse
Commanders having a fill with dirty laps and liquor
The termites’ battalion you never can conquer
Only be sown in the belly of the earth
A mass grave
With a procession of flies
And then the files
Dare to challenge the mighty?
Where is the victory
When weapons of war are on recess
