They Will Never Roam
In modern warfare conflicts
We need to get there fast
Giant transporter aeroplanes
Take off in turbine blast
Inside these metal birds
That fly through natures skies
Deliver our knights in armour
To fight an enemy despised
These deliverers of peace
Will also take them home
Some will walk the apron
While others will never roam
We will always remember them
The way they left our shores
Just like our heroic veterans
All those years before
To watch them march so slow
Coffins held aloft
Their carriage that awaits them
Turns hard men to soft
On their tear laden journey
Our lost ones finally home
For in all our hearts
From there, they will never roam
