Over deze songtekst:
Zie de opmerkingen bij Diary of an unknown soldier.
De naam 'Lost Batallion' werd gegeven aan de 77ste divisie van de Amerikaanse strijdkrachten. De divisie bestond uit 554 mannen. Zij raakten geisoleerd toen de Duitsers hen van alle kanten insloten. 197 soldaten stierven, rond de 150 soldaten werden vermisten of werden gevangen genomen. De rest werd bevrijd. Het verhaal is interessant om te lezen. Je kunt het bijv. vinden bij Wikipedia. De officiele naam van de 77ste divisie is 'Liberty Division'.

Far from their land as they made their stand They stood strong and the legend still lives on 1918, the Great War rages on A battalion is lost in the Argonne Under fire there's nothing they can do There's no way, they can get a message through Suffer heavy losses as the battle carries on Liberty Division standing strong Far from their land as they made their stand A disregarded demand It's surrender or die and the stakes are high They live or they die, there's no time for goodbye Weapon in hand as they made their stand Still disregarding demand They would never comply, they would rather die Broke through the blockade, they were finally saved Friendly fire, munitions running low The supplies, they were dropped upon their foe 1918, the war still rages on The battalion still trapped in the Argonne Chose not to surrender, they chose victory or defeat Fallen brothers resting by their feet Far from their land as they made their stand A disregarded demand It's surrender or die and the stakes are high They live or they die, there's no time for goodbye Weapon in hand as they made their stand Still disregarding demand They would never comply, they would rather die Broke through the blockade, they were finally saved Far from their land as they made their stand A disregarded demand It's surrender or die and the stakes are high Live or die, who can tell there's no goodbye With weapon in hand as they made their stand Still disregarding demand They would never comply, they would rather die They stood strong and the legend still lives on Suffered heavy losses through the Great War they stood strong But the memory of the fallen still lives on Far from their land as they made their stand A disregarded demand It's surrender or die and the stakes are high They live or they die, there's no time for goodbye Weapon in hand as they made their stand Still disregarding demand They would never comply, they would rather die Broke through the blockade, they were finally saved
