Remember

In the house of the almighty lord

They all shall come, the great and small

They have-nots, and the have-it shall enter

A body from a foreign war

Is draped in flag, the bugle calls

To prey in sorrow, bless the cause

Remember

Shall we not remember?

But would the man from Verdun speak

Of glory if he laid a wreath

And if the Empire called again, would he defend her?

And what of those who held Madrid

While powers stalled and freedom hid

Or those that kept the Athens bridge

Traitored by the allied kiss

Shall we not remember

And who believes he came to die

For uniforms where padres hide

To bless the violence from our side

Knowing smaller nations cry

"Thou shalt not kill" unless of course

The weak shall try and share the earth

With those who found their power of birth

Remember

Shall we not remember
