Among the poppies Red as blood Our bodies torn And caked in mud We bravely serve The countless wives Bring freedom to Their children's lives A service given Out of love As Queen and country Sit above Mere faceless pawns So full of breath Are qualified as Fit for death We buckle Under others' reign Beneath the years Of bitter gain So weak But strong to soldier on As leaders live While we are gone We kneel in shards Of broken fear From shattered days That brought us here With bloodied knees We crawl away Through pain and torture Still we pray |
