Young soldier, you cannot run.

Lay down your arms.

Your time has come.

You stand there proudly to attention.

Its over now though.

Young soldier, you cannot run.

This war will never be won.

Go with me now.

Your time has come.

One shot from an enemy gun.

Your wounds are to great.

Young soldier you cannot run.

Brave man, your fighting's done.

I am death.

Your time has come.

You'll be remembered as Englands son.

You died for your country.

Young soldier, you cannot run.

Your time has come.
