Excerpt from Echoes From Flanders We did our parts, With willing hearts, While over the ocean blue; We ruined with fire, One great Empire, Now we've returned to you. We started no war, We fought only for Our rights - all which were due; There's no more land, Called Fatherland, Now we've returned to you. With flag unfurled To Rule the world Was ever the Kaiser's View; But in the grind, He changed his mind, Now we've returned to you. We fought with France, And every chance We had to cross the slough; We broke their line, They sought the Rhine, Now we've returned to you. Some few Brave sons, Repulsing the Huns, Met death - but brave and true. But all the rest, Have done our best, Now we've returned to you. For land that's free, For Victory The Old Red, White and Blue; We fought our might, We won alright, Now we've returned to you.
