As the sun sets He is laid to rest The bugle sounds and guns fire A nation pays tribute to a soldier He fought with honour and without fear To protect our country from foes He stood guarding our borders As seasons changed around him Far away from his home Leaving wife and son alone A soldier fought a war So that we are at peace Braving bullets and bombs Without food and sleep He is alert all day Keeping enemies at bay The earth upon which we tread He worshipped till he was dead Fighting hard for our freedom What a noble patriot he was Then one day he fell down fighting A bullet tore through his chest With a cry for freedom on his lips He lay down his life for us A tearful wife and son Are joined by a whole nation We salute the brave soldier And his noble sacrifice © copyright skm

The bugle sounds for you
As the sun sets He is laid to rest The bugle sounds and guns fire A nation pays tribute to a soldier He fought with honour and without fear To protect our country from foes He stood guarding our borders As seasons changed around him Far away from his home Leaving wife and son alone A soldier fought a war So that we are at peace Braving bullets and bombs Without food and sleep He is alert all day Keeping enemies at bay The earth upon which we tread He worshipped till he was dead Fighting hard for our freedom What a noble patriot he was Then one day he fell down fighting A bullet tore through his chest With a cry for freedom on his lips He lay down his life for us A tearful wife and son Are joined by a whole nation We salute the brave soldier And his noble sacrifice © copyright skm
