It all

Sound
Sound of return
Return
To hell
Hell
of fire and death
Fire and death in a valley
A valley
A valley far away
Far away, in the highs
In the highs of the blue sky
The blue sky, raining death
Raining death, to people
People, like you, my friend
My friend, brother in arms

Brother in arms, who
Who was eager to serve
Eager to serve but unfit for war
Unfit for war, as some are
As some are...

As some are, sitting there
Sitting there at high tables
At high tables, playing check
Playing check with young lives
Young lives, bleeding for cause
For cause, none can remember
 None can remember how it began

Began to cry, my mother
My mother held a letter
A letter with stamps
With stamps...

Eastlanders

Wind bends the flag
Now only a terrific rag
We stand still, snow hits hard
It covers every man's beard
We stand and wait
For Gustavus Adolphus!

They came one day
Came and took us away
"For King and country 
Shall ya'll fight and die!"
Staff they spared not 
To tie us like a knot
Knee to knee to ride
None gone on this road
Will board the boat
To North

Others march for pay
We for duty or else sway
Bright are their colours
Elegant in their manners
We are fighters
On shaggy horses
And birchbark baldricks

"Cut 'em down!", mercenaries yell 
"Hugga in, mina söner" king prays
"Hakkaa päälle, perkele!" we cry 

No one will go home 
Parents shall not see their son 
Rest we will in foreign land
And our deeds in song be sang.
