100 Years to the day We remember the hero’s Who left behind a nation of widows Their sacrifice such a price to pay We sit behind our computers and judge While the hero's dragged dead bodies through the sludge The hero's faced the horror of the trenches The hero's ghosts now reside on manorial benches From the sky's on London to the battle of the Somme The brave young hero's fought so very strong We must not glorify war But instead question what did the hero's die for? War is still in the news With so many more young lives still to loose To this day war remains a constant threat 100 years on lest we forget

The Hero's
100 Years to the day We remember the hero’s Who left behind a nation of widows Their sacrifice such a price to pay We sit behind our computers and judge While the hero's dragged dead bodies through the sludge The hero's faced the horror of the trenches The hero's ghosts now reside on manorial benches From the sky's on London to the battle of the Somme The brave young hero's fought so very strong We must not glorify war But instead question what did the hero's die for? War is still in the news With so many more young lives still to loose To this day war remains a constant threat 100 years on lest we forget
