Soldier of 3 Armies lyrics

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 3 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 3 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 3 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
