All is calm and quiet on The Western Front

The landscape is lush and full of life and colour

Hiding ghostly memories and deep scars of sorrow

Man and boy they answered the rallying call to arms

For king and country they marched off into battle

They sacrificed their today to guarantee our tomorrow

The war to end all wars was the ultimate goal

Freedom from oppression and tyranny was the ideal

A world at peace once more was the dream

Hopefully we can learn some lessons from the past

History unfortunately has a habit of repeating itself

From one conflict to another or so it would seem

On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day

For those that have fallen we respectfully bow our heads

And take a moment of reflection for their souls to pray

Peace in our lifetime will we ever get to see

In Flanders Fields the poppies forever grow wild and free
