They marched with loyal thoughts -
devoted to their country,
fighting for freedom -
giving their oath to never betray.
Brave with pride-filled hearts,
for us they gave their lives.
Chorus:
The ghosts of their souls live inside us all -
they continue to march with us -
helping to show us the way -
we shall never forget them -
brave and determined, united they stood -
a time when the old were once young.
The destination clear in front of their eyes -
their hearts beating of loyal blood -
no fear of the enemy,
they stood against -
to defeat their folk's goods -
No sacrifice is enough -
they fought in storms of fire and steel -
their thoughts always with their families -
though they never gave up -
their actions should remind us -
the honor of the german soldiers lives eternally -
hail!
