Lest we forget,
The boy who died in the morning sun,
The girl who died from a sniper's gun,
All those who stood and refused to run,
Lest we forget,
We must never forget.
A flag draped coffin in the morning rain,
An unsung hero is home again,
Wreaths of poppies, pride and tears
The price of war paid with their lost years
They died with honour in a far off land,
In fields of mud and hills of sand
They fought and died for our liberty,
May they live forever in our memory.
A loved one lost and millions more
In their land of birth or a foreign shore,
A family's grief for theirs who died,
Knows no frontier or a country's pride.
Those lost at sea, on land or sky
Lie silent as their loved ones cry,
Remembered now and for ever more,
May their sacrifice bring an end to war
