Far from the Fame

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

Home, siblings sent to their death

His wife paid the ultimate price

Still, as the war rages on

You are our guide

Far, far from the fame

(Far, far away from the fame)

(But we still remember your name)

Karel Janousek

(We mourn the day that you died)

(So be our guide, Czechoslovakia's pride)

When the war has been fought and been won

Our marshal returns

To be thrown into jail

Facing torture and years behind bars

When he's finally back

Life in ivory black

Home, siblings sent to their death

His wife paid the ultimate price

Still, as the war rages on

You are our guide

Far, far from the fame

(Far, far away from the fame)

(But we still remember your name)

Karel Janousek

(We mourn the day that you died)

(So be our guide, Czechoslovakia's pride)

Far, far from the fame

(Far, far away from the fame)

(But we still remember your name)

Karel Janousek

(We mourn the day that you died)

(So be our guide, Czechoslovakia's pride)

Far, far from the fame

(Far, far away from the fame)

(But we still remember your name)

Karel Janousek

(We mourn the day that you died)

(So be our guide, Czechoslovakia's pride)
