Soldier of 3 Armies

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 fame

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 fame

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
