The Forgotten Soldier - Lest We Forget

Remember meDuty called and I went to warThough I'd never fired a gun beforeI paid the price for your new dayAs all my dreams were blown away Remember meWe all stood true as whistles blewAnd faced the shell and stench of HellNow battle's done, there is no soundOur bones decay beneath the groundWe cannot see, or smell, or hearThere is no death, or hope or fear Remember meOnce we, like you, would laugh and talkAnd run and walk and do the things that you all doBut now we lie in rows so neatBeneath
