Honour

Ground assault begins
By order open fire
Vanguard — respect is borne
Proud to hold first battle front none superior
None superior
Axis ever turning (advance as one)
War’s attrition has begun
Intense the battle harvest
Through the crimson mud
Now thoughts turn and decline
Unswerving loyalty (advance as one)
Advance as one
Weary from the start — at dawn’s early light
Silently torn away — unto the end of life
As night has fallen
Far distant horizons afire
Beyond pursuit of victory
In belligerence and pride
A war to end wars
With loyalty above all — except honour
Loyalty above all
Except honour
