[Verse 1] My coat is tattered My soul aches in pain Hunger consumes me Still I remain [Verse 2] My heart is heavy My road's paved with woes But despite all Onwards I go [Pre-chorus] The soldier's fate Can not be waived For I am bound For an early grave [Chorus] I march For my king and motherland I'm still only a boy Just following command And I Will not see my home again But I keep on marching With my countrymen [Verse 3] Days turn into months Months into years Death follows closely And feeds off our fears [Verse 4] We loot and we burn What stands in our way I pray God forgives me My sins on Judgement Day [Pre-chorus] The soldier's fate Can not be waived For I am bound For an early grave [Chorus] I march For my king and motherland I'm still only a boy Just following command And I Will not see my home again But I keep on marching With my countrymen [Bridge] Remembering my fathers farm And the wheaten fields Away from harm My mothers eyes I saw her cry She held me tight as I said goodbye [Final chorus] I march For my king and motherland I'm still only a boy Just following command And I Will not see my home again But I keep on marching With my countrymen
