The poppies are singing

the poppies are singing
my ears are ringing
the bombs went off
the poppies are singing
the other teams winning 
for now
the poppies are singing a ghostly tune
for the bodies laid to rest far to soon
the poppies are singing
there are too many flowers of red and black
in the field of defeat
that's a fact
the poppies are singing
singing
of there losses
of our victory
of the bosses 
 that lead us to glory
the poppies sing our story
