the war dead

The war dead
The long lost years
The names immortalized on walls
As other soldiers bow and cry

The loved ones knocked heads
Friends, neighbours and comrades too
They come to remember the war dead
Once they lived how they fought and died

On a land so far away from home
They fought battles on political differences
The tragic deaths ringing through the years
Why we wasted our lives for nothing?

It will not be the last battle
It is still fighting to this century
Many will perish on the foreign land
Of political or religious differences

The war dead
The long lost years
It will not be the last battle
It is still fighting to this century
