---

That final day has come to dawn

I'm off to no-man's land

Into the barbed-wire, into the smoke

Where one's dreams turn to sand

I look to the day

when I'm back in your arms

after the pain and misery of war

When I look into your eyes

and see your smile

I know what I've been fighting for

[chorus]

I'm off to the front, you must not cry

I'd die a thousand deaths

before I'd live a lie

Your love and trust in me

is all I'd ever known

Forget me not because

one day I'm coming home

Shattered dreams lay all around me

yet my faith is strong

To see the future of you and me

keeps me carrying on

You're in my thoughts day and night

When I sleep you're in my dreams

You're my sanity in this world of madness

that's filled with cries and screams

[repeat chorus]

The train keeps on rolling

to where many before me have fell

For the blood and the glory

and the sacrifice

of a generation fighting in hell

May I be brave as those before me

Staring the shadow of death in the eye

With passion and valor

I'll stare in death's face

for I'm not afraid to die

[repeat chorus]
