Remembering those lost to war
Slaughtered lambs
Littered lands
The children of the poor
Like cannon fire,
We admire
The heroes that came before.
Battle worn
We see the dawn
Another year has passed.
Ranks unknown
Medals shown
Our bravery is set to last
To mourn our friends
A bitter end
Their memories not betrayed.
Wreaths lay bare
Tears are shared
For brothers
Lost to time…
We bow our heads
A prayer is read
To remember forever more
The men who walked so proudly
And answered the call to war…
