Last Dying Breath

War begun, the Kaiser has come Day or night, the shells keep falling Overrun, but never outdone Street to street, denying defeat Soldiers of the Serbian army Keep your heads held high Overrun, you fall one by one For Belgrade and the fatherland Soldiers, heroes, die for your land Your lives are gone, erased by your command Until your last dying breath Overrun, you’re under the gun Day or night, the shells kept falling Sound the drum, the Great War has come Show no fear, the ending is near A final charge, to face the fire Falling one by one Major calls, the white city falls Belgrade’s streets are stained by blood In haste, our lives are erased Forward to glory for king and country Defend the honour of Belgrade Forward to glory, to face your fate at last
