Soldier Of 3 Armies
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 #1
Cross of Mannerheim, addicted to the wargame
Neverending fame, victory reclaimed
Oooh we remember, we remember, we remember
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!
Cross 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
Cross of Mannerheim, addicted to the wargame
Neverending fame, victory reclaimed
Oooh we remember, we remember, we remember
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!
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
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!
