Started out as a reserve
Soon promoted
well deserved
And the legend has begun
With a bounty on his head
The Red Army wants him dead
Soviet enemy number one
Cross of Mannerheim
Addicted to the war game
Never ending flame
Victory reclaimed
Oh we remember
We remember
we remember
Shout
Lauri Törni's name
A soldier of three armies
knows the game
Deeds that echo
from the past
Rise
from beyond your grave
Son of Finland
and a green beret
May you rest
in peace at last
Lauri Allan Törni
Crossed the water
a new start
War still beating
in his heart
A new legend
has been born
Started out as a reserve
Soon promoted
well deserved
Changed his name
to Larry Thorne
Cross of Mannerheim
Addicted to the war game
Never ending flame
Victory reclaimed
Oh we remember
We remember
we remember
Shout
Lauri Törni's name
A soldier of three armies
knows the game
Deeds that echo
from the past
Rise
from beyond your grave
Son of Finland
and a green beret
May you rest
in peace at last
From the Finnish lakes
Into Germany and USA
All the wars he came across
Cross of Mannerheim
an Iron Cross
A Bronze Star Purple Heart
One distinguished
Flying Cross
Shout
Lauri Törni's name
A soldier of three armies
knows the game
Deeds that echo
from the past
Rise
from beyond your grave
Son of Finland
and a green beret
May you rest
in peace at last
Lauri Allan Törni
