Call to Arms Lyrics

A telegram came today*
Its taking me far away
Away from the ones I love
I put my faith in God above
We march toward the sound of distant guns
White fire lighting up the sky
We came to fight and die in fields of blood
Well follow the call to arms
I will write you every day
Hope our love wont fade away
You give me strength to carry on
Until the final day is done
This hell, this hell is where we live and die
We fall, comrades by our side
We pray to make it through another day
To follow the call to arms
If I die, please dont forget me
If I live, I want to live free

We pray to God, these days will end
And bring us back safe to your arms
Ive saved all your letters
I keep them pressed close to my heart
And they wont stop a bullet
They just keep me closer to you than apart
We live; we gotta live free
We die; remember me
We pray to make it through another day
To follow the call to arms
Telegram came today
Its taking me far away
Away from the ones I love
I put my faith in God above
