He had left to go to war
To give his help to his land
They had given him badges and stars
And the advice to sell his skin dearly

And when they told him to go ahead
They pushed too far in search of the truth
Now that he is dead, the homeland takes pride
In another hero's memory

But she who loved him waited for his return
Of a living soldier, what will she do with a dead hero
If next to her in bed she is left with the glory
Of a medal in memory
