1st:
No one saw the eagle hunting high up in the sky
But it looked down and thought it saw the prey upon the ground
And its attack was swift and sure in the twinkle of a star
Four soldiers lay dying in a field near Kandahar
2nd:
Four soldiers from the Princess Patricia's Light Infantry
While I lay sleeping safely in my bed
They stood on guard for me
They died so I may keep the right to live in truth and liberty
Onward Christian soldiers, hold fast their memory.
3rd:
Now there is no explaination, perhaps it's meant to be. God's army needed four good men, and that's their destiny
As for me I'll greive for thee, and in my sorrow hide. And remember where I was, the night four soldiers died.
