[Chorus]
We are brothers in arms, we fight for the cause

[Chorus]
We are brothers in arms, we march for the cause
Together we stand, divided we fall

Killing ground
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Charge into battle, victory we cry
Onto the lances, our sabres held high

Together we stand, divided we fall
We are brothers in arms, we die for the cause
Together we stand, divided we fall
On the killing ground, yeah
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
We are brothers in arms, we fight for the cause
Together we stand, divided we fall
We are brothers in arms, we die for the cause
Together we stand, divided we fall
We are brothers in arms
We march or we die
Together we stand
Divided we fall
