Marble crosses of faith
A solemn reminder
Of those who shared one goal
Freedoms fight for glory
Grief of nations, their toll
Marble crosses of faith
Buried soldiers, lay deep
Surrendering to death
To honor their belief
Fighting with their last breath
Marble crosses of faith
In depths deep with promise
Known and unknown they sleep
A duty, not in vain
A pledge they fought to keep
Marble crosses of faith
Reeling above the sea
A humble place of peace
Where headstones mark their graves
The price of war to cease
