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



Across the Mannerheim

Addicted to the walking

Neverending 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 the Green Beret

May you rest in peace at last

Lauri Allan Törni



Across 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



Across the Mannerheim

Addicted to the walking

Neverending 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 the 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

Keeps their echo from the past

Rise from beyond your grave

Son of Finland and the Green Beret

May you rest in peace at last

Lauri Allan Törni
