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!
