Hail and Farewell
Farewell to you Mother,
I'm leaving for war,
I hope I'll return,
To familiar Shores,
It's for our freedom
I sacrifice,
I'm not afraid to die for what's right
Hail and Farewell their mothers cry
Hail and farewell they fight and they die
Hail and Farewell our mothers cry
Hail and Farewell they fight and they die
If you're reading this,
I won't make it home,
Know I died proudly
And I wasn't alone,
I died with my brothers,
Our souls laid bare
Thoughts led to home,
I longed to be there.
Hail and Farewell their mothers cry
Hail and farewell they fight and they die
Hail and Farewell our mothers cry
Hail and Farewell they fight and they die
Long days in trenches,
The sky is raining shells,
I don't wanna die here
In this living hell!
Hail and Farewell their mothers cry
Hail and farewell they fight and they die
Hail and Farewell our mothers cry
Hail and Farewell they fight and they die
