Started out as a reserve

Soon promoted well 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,

Deeds that 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 well 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,

Deeds that 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 wars 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,

Deeds that 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!
