I'm a soldier
Born and raised to kill,
Nerves of steel
Forged by an iron will
No heart to run away

Here where the bullets fly,
There's no one left
To hear my battle cry
Mine is not to reason why?

Forgotten heroes,
The battle has been won
No more heroes,
But their memory lingers on
Forgotten heroes,
Too late to count the cost,
No more heroes,
The languid and the lost

Cheating death so many times,
Haunted spirits of the front line
They seem to have died in vain

Trenches deep in blood,
The stench of corpses
Sinking into mud
Did the sacrifice do any good?

Help me sweet Jesus,
I feel I can't go on
Our ranks are falling,
Reinforcements are gone

Mortars are pounding,
It seems this is the end
A case of death or glory,
What honour to defend?

Oh Forgotten Heroes,
Oh Forgotten Heroes,
Oh Forgotten Heroes,
Oh Forgotten Heroes
