חיילים אלמונים הננו בלי מדים,
וסביבנו אימה וצלמוות.
כולנו גויסנו לכל החיים:
משורה משחרר רק המוות.

מתוך המנון לח"י, אברהם שטרן - יאיר

"Unknown soldiers"
Unknown soldiers are without uniforms,
And around us is terror and the shadow of death.
We were all drafted for life:
Only death can set us free.
