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?
