Soldier Of 3 Armies

[Verse 1:]
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.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Cross of Mannerheim!
Addicted to the war game
Never ending fame
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.

[Verse 2:]
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.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Cross of Mannerheim!
Addicted to the war game
Never ending fame
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.

[Bridge:]
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.

[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.
