When we signed up for the army

To a rangers company

Armed with m16's

Straight into the war.

Then we served under the banner

Clad in us stars an stripes

And on moonless nights

We marched for endless miles.

[Chorus]

Once we were soldiers

Once we were young

We have found our peace

We've seen the end.

Fallen in war

We belong to history

Fallen in war

Sleep 6 feet below.

Hearts of the brave

Cannot bring me back to life

Fallen in war

Still brothers in arms.

We have fought in distant conflict

And for all to many years

Seen our friends go down

Wounded dead or lost.

Know that peace comes at a high price

It may take a thousand lives

And a deep belief

Sacrifice of men.

[Chorus]

Once we were soldiers

Once we were young

We have found our peace

We've seen the end.

Shining heart beats no more

Buried deep deep in cold earth

Shallow grave in my motherland

Here I stay in darkness forever.

Fallen in war

We belong to history

Fallen in war

Sleep 6 feet below.

Hearts of the brave

Cannot bring me back to life

Fallen in war

Still brothers in arms.
