We buried her in the cotton fields near the old railroad
Hands torn up from the snow
My mother said my sister would always hold my hand
In cattle trucks they stole us from our homes in Tarnopol
To Siberia we'd go
My uncle worked until he was a wick out in the cold
They weren't human no more

In '41 I fled to join the army of our own with only the clothes that I had on
I arrived near river Volga, there were people just like me
With their sons and daughters
From the port of Krasnovodsk we all boarded for Iran
And on the sands I cried
Mother, I will fight on for the place that is our home
For Our Freedom and Yours

In Iraq and Palestine, we were trained out in the sun
And then we headed to Cairo
We joined the Eighth Army for the British wanted Rome
And we wanted our home
Oh, please send me to Taranto with our mermaid
Send me where you want
I'll give my body and soul
For Our Freedom And Yours

In the mires
In the snow
In the cold
In my soul
I hear their voices calling
All calling
I will fight
I'll stand tall, always
But if I fall 
I pray to be saved from the dark
Oh, I pray for the strength to go on

The Chaplain gave communion in the rubble near the dawn
Everything was gone
The bodies on the ground, they all looked just like me
The monastery was taken and the red and white hung high
St. Mary's Call rang out
I laid down on the poppies all drenched in our own blood
Now I wonder what for?

Somewhere in the darkness I can hear their voices call me
A long, silent, empty sound
And I hear it all through the night from the place I never can go back
In the ruins of Cassino, I can hear that bugle sound on somebody else's land

All the ones stolen from homes
For Our Freedom And Yours
All the ones with nowhere to go
For Our Freedom And Yours
With the sacred call in our hearts
For Our Freedom And Yours

Oh, I'll fight onto Bologna with these men all by my side
For God, Honour and Homeland
All the poppies drenched in our blood
For Our Freedom And Yours
All the ones that never gave up
For Our Freedom And Yours
Your names will always live on
For Our Freedom And Yours

For Our Freedom And Yours
