Started out as a reserve Soon promoted well deserved And the legend has begun With a bounty on his head The Red Army wants him dead Soviet enemy number one Cross of Mannerheim! Addicted to the war game Never ending flame Victory reclaimed Oh, we remember We remember, we remember! [Chorus] Shout! Lauri Törni's name A soldier of 3 armies knows the game Deeds that echo from the past Rise! from beyond your grave Son of Finland and a green beret
May you rest in peace at last Lauri Allan Törni Crossed the water a new start War still beating in his heart A new legend has been born Started out as a reserve Soon promoted well deserved Changed his name to Larry Thorne From the Finnish lakes Into Germany and USA All the wars he came across Cross of Mannerheim, an Iron Cross A Bronze Star, Purple Heart One Distinguished Flying Cross
