Dm
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
[Pre-Chorus]

Home, siblings sent to their death

His wife paid the ultimate price

Still, as the war rages on
F A
You are our guide
[Chorus]

But we still remember your name
(Karel Janoušek!)

We mourn the day that you died

So be our guide, Czechoslovakia’s pride

Our Marshal returns, to be thrown into jail

Facing torture and years behind bars

When he’s finally back, life in ivory black
