Remembrance Day

In the forest, in the snow, all those many years ago
Pale stones and epitaphs, mourning bells and half-mast flags
In the cemetery where they fell, all those many years ago
And now it's just a memory, eroded by the years

Forgotten heroes underground, wrinkled faces gather 'round
Pale stones and epitaphs, roses on a barbed wire fence
Winter landscapes never change, oh, it must have been the same
In the forest, in the snow, all those many years ago

Remembrance Day, all they have is memories
From photographs in tombstones upon the battlefields
Remembrance Day, lost forever in the fields
Of foreign lands, many miles away

In the forest, in the snow, all those many years ago
Bombs and victims blown sky-high, buried where they lie
A generation underground, wrinkled faces gather 'round
Songs will never bring them back, never bring them back
