The Falklands War 9/10
`Old Albion` I don’t want to die Not on this day Is this my destiny A soldiers death What is honourable These young eyes have not seen enough But seen too much already Closing them but never the fear Fear of showing fear Advance Forward I shall not falter To die alone Become a soldier Follow the pipes The colours My mates To smell stale beer I will not die this day Old Albion awaits.
