Started out as a reserve
Soon promoted when 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
Keeps their 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 when 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
Keeps their 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 awards 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
Keeps their 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
