|
War is coming swiftly |
|
The border is closing in |
|
We're a company of soldiers |
|
We're 40 rifles strong |
|
All alone |
|
Stand alone |
|
And then the background is burning |
|
And Rommel is at hand |
|
As the Blitzkrieg's pushing harder |
|
The war is all around! |
|
All around |
|
Hold your ground! |
|
Fight for 18 days of battles |
|
No odds are on our side |
|
Few will fight for all until the bullets are gone |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
We! |
|
We will resist and bite! |
|
Bite hard |
|
Cause we are all in sight |
|
We! |
|
We take up arms and fight! |
|
Fight hard! |
|
Resist and do what's right! |
|
No matter our fighting |
|
Their numbers will still count |
|
We're outgunned and few in numbers |
|
We're doomed to flag or fail |
|
We fought hard |
|
Held our guard |
|
But when captured by the Axis |
|
and forced to tell the truth |
|
We will tell them with a smile |
|
We will surprise them with the laugh |
|
We are all |
|
We were all |
|
We were told to hold the border |
|
And that is what we did |
|
honoured by our orders |
|
In despite of our foe |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Gloria fortis miles |
|
The Wehrmacht's closing in |
|
ad versu retar morsus |
|
The war against the leader |
|
Gloria fortis miles |
|
The Wehrmacht closing in |
|
ad versu retar morsus |
|
The war against the leader! |
|
[Bridge] |
|
[Chorus] |
