God Bless Them All
On a wind sheltered hillside,
Where the white crosses stand,
Ranks and files draw attention,
Heroes honoured our land
They bleed out in the moonlight,
To her mystical glow,
With the turning of twilight,
So their shadows shall grow,
Say a prayer for the fallen
As you wake every dawn
May they never be forgotten
God bless each and every one
As the years mark their passing,
Night skies paint silver stars,
Rusted nails bleed in silence,
Tracing wounds from their scars,
Blood red poppies weave carpets,
Where those purple hearts rest
As we pray to the Heavens,
That their lost souls be blessed.
Say a prayer for the fallen
As you wake every dawn
May they never be forgotten
God bless each and every one
Musical bridge
Say a prayer for the fallen
As you wake every dawn
May they never be forgotten
God bless each and every one
