We remember the past with a gold and yellow glow,
But we have forgotten the graves weeping rich red blood,

We remember it was for a good and righteous fight,
But we have forgotten the cause of the real rhyme and reason,

We remember the sacrificed lone Unknown Soldier,
But we have forgotten his fallen and long gone brothers-in-arms,

We remember the passion and glory of our Lord,
But we have forgotten our dreaming days of peace and flying hope,

We remember the War started in the year of 1914,
But we have forgotten that War's rage bleeds right into our day and age,

We remember the deep red poppies in rich European fields,
But we have forgotten the crows who snatched away our salvation and souls.
