Lyrics Shock Troops

Shock Troops

Warriors of the North
Forged in
The fires of war
Proud soldiers,
Battle hardened
Both world wars,
Under a crimson sky,
Fighting in the mud,
Canadian Infantry
Shedding German blood.

Vimy Ridge,
Ypres
And Amiens.
A tough reputation
They had to maintain
Legacy of sacrifice
Sixty six thousand dead
A hundred thousand wounded
A nation that bled
