Verse
The Gsongs of the wars are as Cold as the hills
They Gcling like the rust on the A7cold steel that Dkills
They Gtell of the boys who went Gdown to the Ctracks
In a Dpatriotic manner with the Ccold steel on their Gbacks
Chorus
The Gpatriot's dream is as Cold as the sky
It Glives in the lust of a A7cold callous Dlie
Let's Gdrink to the men who got caught by the Cchill
Of the Dpatriotic fever and the Ccold steel that Gkills

Verse
The Gtrain pulled away on that Cglorious night
The Gdrummer got drunk and the A7bugler got Dtight
Well, the Gboys in the back sang a song of good Ccheer
While Driding off to glory in the Cspring of their Gyears
Chorus
The Gpatriot's dream still Clives on today
It Gmakes mothers weep and it A7makes lovers Dpray
Let's Gdrink to the men who got caught by the Cchill
Of the Dpatriotic fever and the Ccold steel that Gkills
