Heads bowed, uniform proud
Youth stand to attention
Without the sacrifice of many
No youth would stand this day.

As the sun shines overhead
We listen to the lone bugler
He calls for the dead
They move amongst us silently.

Hands clasped across breasts
Hats off to the fallen soldiers
We live because they gave
The ultimate sacrifice unto death.

Grandfathers, fathers, mothers too
They smile across the void
No more tears they will shed
Waiting for us to reach the shore.


Brave men and women who fought and died
Strange lands opened to welcome them
Adventure called the young to travel
Little they thought of their death.

The war to end all wars - common phrase
Still, our brave soldiers fight and die
Today, we remember them
Today, we thank them for our freedom.
