Lest We Forget
For those who sacrificed
Now we stand to pay the price
We lay our wreaths to give respect
Imbedded in our heads Lest We Forget
Down on the graves it thunders and rains
For what they did our country still gains
We follow our hearts to Where the poppy’s bloom
Down on Flanders fields the battle of doom
Those who remember their cold-blooded scars
The ones who we lost we see in the stars
The fire still rages deep in our hearts
Memories Shattering It cuts like glass
As they went in they knew their fate
11th of the 11th is the decided date
We took our hearts hand in hand
United we stand
