Here they stand so thick and straight, 

 Looking forward to their fate,

 Heroes of Peace, not afraid to die, 

 Silent sentries in rain and snow. 

 Patiently waiting for the foe. 



The day will come when they'll bend

To the god of fire, or the woodsman's ax, 

 They never had a complaint to make, 

 And they lived and died all for our sake.
