The First Soldier

[00:37.74] Before the war, he wanted more

[00:40.13] And ran away from home

[00:42.79] The war to end all wars had called his name

[00:47.83] Outcast, an unlikely soldier

[00:50.23] Barely worth his uniform

[00:52.89] Emerging as a devil dressed in blue

[00:57.93] Being the lone survivor

[01:00.60] At the trenches in Alsace

[01:03.25] One man holds the line

[01:07.93] From the south to the front to the battlefield

[01:10.59] From a farm to a hero of France

[01:12.98] Served his country courageous and fearless

[01:15.63] As he halts the Kaiser's advance

[01:18.28] From the south to the front into no man's land

[01:20.67] From a farm to the end of the road

[01:23.06] Son of France, he's the first on the frontline

[01:25.72] Coming home

[01:26.78] Coming home

[01:27.59] Let his story be known

[01:30.77] Glorious, victorious

[01:33.17] Protector of the tomb

[01:36.08] Memories of his deeds, the cross of war

[01:40.74] He's a decorated soldier

[01:43.39] He's the pride of the uniform

[01:46.07] Echoes from the past his story told

[01:51.11] Lined up for execution

[01:53.50] Saved his captain's life

[01:56.42] One man holds the line
