With what's going on in Ukraine it seems time to update a new theme song for the world here in 2022. The song below is about another time and another war but it can be used for any war and any time frame.
Sabaton - "En Livstid I Krig" - live performance during their "The Great Tour" in Scandinavium, Gothenburg, Sweden on February 14, 2020 I believe.

English lyrics translation of the Swedish version of this song:
En Livstid I Krig - A lifetime in war
I look around and see my home fade away
My time at home now feels far too short.
Just a youth, barley a man when duty called me
If I ever see my home again
That I don't know
With kinsmen from my village
I went to war
And the world burned
Because the war can
Destroy a man
I give my life to my motherland
But who will miss me?
See me as
A husband, a friend
Father and son who never returns home
But who will mourn me?
Went to war for Sweden
Got baptized in blood
The death waits overthere
Not heroism
A field where kinsmen falls
No song can be heard
To challenge our destiny once again
Far away from home
Baptized and die in a battle
And the world burned
Because the war can
Destroy a man
I give my life
to my motherland
But who will miss me?
See me as
A husband, a friend
Father and son who never returns home
But who will mourn me?
And when my time got to an end
Who cares then?
They will combat
Does a soldier got a dignified end?
To pass away
To disappear
And never wake up
Because the war can
Destroy a man
I give my life to my motherland
But who will miss me?
See me as
A husband, a friend
Father and son who never returns home
But who will mourn me?
