Lyrics

Lest we forget It’s not what happened out there All the things that we know Shooting of guns And bombs that explode The feelings you hold Not able to share Night terrors scare in the cold dark air Experiences not shared only by a few Who understand nothing But relied on by you Family tries but can’t understand How you came back such a changed man Didn’t take your life But it stole your youth A condemned man Caught in a moment of truth It seemed so exciting When you’re waiting to go The horror of war How were you to know? Experiences not shared only by a few Who understand nothing But relied on by you Family tries but can’t understand How you came back such a changed man Chorus: (STACE) Brothers and sons and daddies too We stand on the brink we’re looking for you Despair for dinner and grief in our hearts Waiting, waiting, waiting for a brand new start (FRANCIS) As we stand to attention With a glass in our hand Remembering comrades who no longer can Resighting the ode And all that it means Lest we forget all of their deeds Called on by your country It’s hard to resist Comrades and mateship One raised fist It all seems so futile When all have returned An unfortunate lesson
