Music: Joakim Brodén · Lyrics: Joakim Brodén, Pär Sundström
Far from their land as they made their stand They stood strong and the legend still lives on
1918 the great war rages on A battalion is lost in the Argonne Under fire there's nothing they can do There's no way, they can get a message through Suffer heavy losses as the battle carries on Liberty division standing strong
Far from their land as they made their stand A disregarded demand It's surrender or die and the stakes are high They live or they die, there's no time for goodbye Weapon in hand as they made their stand Still disregarding demand They would never comply, they would rather die Broke through the blockade, they were finally saved
Friendly fire munitions running low Their supplies, they were dropped upon their foe 1918 the war still rages on The battalion still trapped in the Argonne Chose not to surrender, they chose victory or defeat Fallen brothers resting by their feet
Far from their land as they made their stand A disregarded demand It's surrender or die and the stakes are high They live or they die, there's no time for goodbye Weapon in hand as they made their stand Still disregarding demand They would never comply, they would rather die Broke through the blockade, they were finally saved
Far from their land as they made their stand A disregarded demand It's surrender or die and the stakes are high Live or die, who can tell there's no goodbye With the weapon in hand as they made their stand Still disregarding demand They would never comply, they would rather die They stood strong and the legend still lives on
Suffered heavy losses through the great war they stood strong But the memory of the fallen still lives on
Far from their land as they made their stand A disregarded demand It's surrender or die and the stakes are high They live or they die, there's no time for goodbye Weapon in hand as they made their stand Still disregarding demand They would never comply, they would rather die Broke through the blockade, they were finally saved
