Run little soldier,
Run along,
Run from those who’d do you wrong,

Move little soldier,
Move away,
Move and fight another day,

Dodge little soldier,
Dodge that blade,
Dodge that awful blood-red shade,

Stand little soldier,
Stand your ground,
Stand and fight these dogs and hounds,

Stab little soldier,
Stab again,
Stab and aim for his blue veins,

Kill little soldier,
Kill the child,
Kill so much your eyes go wild,

Laugh little soldier,
HA HA HA!
Laugh when you kill mom and pa,

Cry little soldier,
Cry so hard,
Cry and see your own face marred,

Sing little soldier,
Sing this song,
Sing ‘til you feel you belong,

Sleep little soldier,
Sleep all night,
Sleep but please leave on the light,

Go little soldier,
Go astray,
Go and see who you’ve betrayed,

Steady little soldier,
Steady your hands,
Steady those tools which enact commands,

End little soldier,
End it all,
End your life and heed the call,

Sleep little soldier,
Sleep in peace,
Sleep and let your worries cease.

Run little soldier,
Run from them,
Run from all these blackened men.
