A salute to the fallen
100.000 men with no known grave
50.000 names honoured
By remembrance crosses
At the menin gate
The gateway to hell, marching
Off to never return
Suffering … sacrifice …
Carried by courage and devotion
A few days ago we lived
Now we are …
The Dead
For freedom … for their independence
At the going down of the sun,
We will remember them
Deprived of their youth,
They saw their lives perish
A sacrifice made, the outcome we cherish
In flanders field, poppies growing
Among the graves
A symbol of rememberance for those
Who died to restore peace
A few days ago we lived
Now we are …
The Dead
Deprived of their youth,
They saw their lives perish
A sacrifice made,
The outcome we cherish
