Song Lyrics

As the great war is over and lost
He's been wounded in war, he returns with awards
Into battle again far from home
From a far distant land, our Marshal command

Home, siblings sent to their death
His wife paid the ultimate price
Still, as the war rages on
You are our guide

Far, far from the fame, far away from the fame
But we still remember your name, Karel Janoušek!
We mourn the day that you died
So be our guide, Czechoslovakia's pride

When the war has been fought and been won
Our Marshal returns, to be thrown into jail
Facing torture and years behind bars
When he's finally back, life in ivory black

Home, siblings sent to their death
His wife paid the ultimate price
Still, as the war rages on
You are our guide

Far, far from the fame, far away from the fame
But we still remember your name, Karel Janoušek!
We mourn the day that you died
So be our guide, Czechoslovakia's pride

Far, far from the fame, far away from the fame
But we still remember your name, Karel Janoušek!
We mourn the day that you died
So be our guide, Czechoslovakia's pride

Far, far from the fame, far away from the fame
But we still remember your name, Karel Janoušek!
We mourn the day that you died
So be our guide, Czechoslovakia's pride
