Dew-drops on the jungle’s fern
Sunbeams touch the leaves
Dirty blackened faces stare mean
Battalion of the underdogs
Determined now to win
I hope the lord will have an eye on me
At 8:15 (eight one five) the enemy
Was caught in our trap
Resisted just to keep the faith
No chance to get way back
Loss of horizons
The enemy was killed
On just an ordinary day
He was the one and only
Who reaped the fruits of glory
Dangerous, he felt divine
And when I met him later
Though all the years passed by
Dangerous and he still was fine
The legionary
The legionary
The legionary
The legionary
Told him: Dear, it’s not my cup
I had to leave the pack
My conscience’s hurting just too much
So don’t expect me back
Loss of horizons
My fate was sealed
On just another ordinary day
He was the one and only
Who reaped the fruits of glory
Dangerous, he felt divine
And when I met him later
Though all the years passed by
Dangerous and he still was fine
Loss of horizons
His fate was sealed
On just another ordinary day
He was the one and only
Who reaped the fruits of glory
Dangerous, he felt divine
And when I met him later
Though all the years passed by
Dangerous and he still was fine
He took a thousand’s breath
Defied the shades of death
Dangerous, he felt divine
And when I met him last
He had the coma cast
Motionless, he crossed the line
The legionary
