All but one man died There near Alsace Lorraine, And they say he rode away... Branded! Marked by a coward’s shame. What do you do when you’re branded? Will you fight for your name He was innocent Neither accusation was true But the world will never know... Branded! Despised as the one who rode away. What do you do when you’re branded? And you know you’re a man? And wherever you go for the rest of your life You have to prove... You are a man! Stripped of all his rank Stripped of all his pride Still, he held his head high! Branded! Friends are something unknown! What do you do when you’re branded? You can go on alone From his General von Watter, And the men who died He can never tell the truth! Branded! That’s not how you die! What do you do when you’re branded
