Iced up rivers rolling to hell
Shivering souls greater than I
The horse shit and gun smoke, the deathly smell
Of a battle for the reason why
Biting cold and broken bones
The bullets...they hit like boulders
To feel the numb and endless pools of frozen blood
And the mettle of a soldier
The mission was long forgotten
The glory, no more than a sigh
We paid the price with frozen flesh
And the treason of a spy
To live another battle to give another day
Of life upon an earth that treats better her cattle
Lying barefoot in fields of wicked frozen clay
If this is life, then this is my reply
That dying's not too much trouble
In a battle for the reason why
