Remembrance Day

For our king and our country and the promise of glory

We came from kingston and brighton to fight on the front line

Just lads from the farms and boys from the cities

Not meant to be soldiers we lay in the trenches

Wed face the fighting with a smile - or so we said

If only we had known what danger lay ahead

The sky turned to grey as we went into battle

On the fields of europe young men were fallin

Ill be back for you someday - it wont be long

If I can just hold on til this bloody war is over

The guns will be silent on remembrance day

Therell be no more fighting on remembrance day

By october of 18 cambrai had fallen

Soon the war would be over and wed be returnin

Dont forget me while Im gone far away

Well it wont be long till Im back there in your arms again

One day soon - I dont know when

You know well all be free and the bells of peace will ring again

The time will come for you and me

Well be goin home when this bloody war is ended

The guns will be silent on remembrance day

Well all say a prayer on remembrance day

On remembrance day - say a little prayer

On remembrance day

Well the guns will be silent

Therell be no more fighting

Oh well lay down our weapons

On remembrance day
