REMEMBRANCE DAY

Poppies fall like leaves like sweet memories

Since trenches filled with bodies and blood

The poems of that time still echo in our minds

From scars of trenches spread out over France

We go back to a time when we weren’t on the brink

Paranoia slowly spreading

In this fortress world where we now live

I guess we’d better get used to it

 

What’s the cost of a free world?

What’s the price of a changed world?

Can’t we talk of a fair world?

Can’t we talk of a safe world?

 

I hope we’re here to remember remembrance day

I pray the years don’t pass without provoking ideas

And we’ll be here to remember remembrance day

Making our penance on Remembrance Day

 

Twin towers go down like some sick movie show

Evoke a Hollywood film for the masses

Now Basra lights up with explosions tonight

Like some kind of sequel to the first

And the flowers still sit like silent witnesses

Guarding the fallen in the wind

Korea and Nam are just another two of the times

In a strangely repeating timeline

 

What’s the cost of a free world?

What’s the price of a changed world?

Can’t we talk of a fair world?

Can’t we talk of a safe world?

 

Chorus
