The ground is stained as a reminder Of the battle that took place here Rain has washed away the memories But not drowned away the fear Guns were fired, lives were lost Hearts were broken on this land No life dares ever grow here As token to those who still stand The moon never shines it light On this dreary barren ground The skies are always cloudy grey To keep the sadness hanging around The graves are built to weather the storm But lonely, no flowers make their beds With nobody to remember this There’s no one here to rest their heads

A Tribute to the Forgotten
The ground is stained as a reminder Of the battle that took place here Rain has washed away the memories But not drowned away the fear Guns were fired, lives were lost Hearts were broken on this land No life dares ever grow here As token to those who still stand The moon never shines it light On this dreary barren ground The skies are always cloudy grey To keep the sadness hanging around The graves are built to weather the storm But lonely, no flowers make their beds With nobody to remember this There’s no one here to rest their heads
