France had just been freed from German occupation forces
Among the volunteers from across the war torn world
Former SS men released from prisoner of war camps
Dressed in French uniforms, sent to fight in Vietnam
These volunteers were dropped into Hell
From low flying cargo planes
To a well surrounded fort, falling even now
So that France could be gloriously be restored
But they lost, with those who survived
Envying those who died
For there was no way home only struggle
An entire world changed as a French Empire ended
The French soldiers cried, surrounded by the dead
In the last moments of battle
When they saw the rise of a flag, of the color Red
