Lest We Forget

Lest We Forget The haunting echoes of battlefields, so very long ago Lost in the solemn ancient eyes of pain, sorrow and woe Memoirs of scars, lost limbs and countless medals worn Memories of fallen, lost comrades in arms that they morn The sacrifices made by the these band of brothers They fought as one, unselfish bravery like no other Forever entrenched into their minds and their soul They fought, each battlefield, winning the only goal Fighting side by side, strangers, brothers in arms In the city’s, towns and jungles, carrying firearms Giving all they had, willing to laying down their lives Seeing the bloodshed, all those who did not survive To all our fallen soldiers, lost on some foreign soil For all the wars fought , each battle fiercely embroiled To all who served, who serve still, in god’s grace they be Lest we forget the sacrifice they gave for us to be free
