Stanley Petley - Reply To Flanders Fields

Описание

In Flanders Fields please, sleep in peace Sleep - From the Hell you surely knew The chaos, endured by brothers through From failing arms your torches flew Caught by few, who hold them high Faithfully we carry on The blood soaked dust you fought upon Forever remember their poppy red From which courage, love and honor bled In Flanders Fields. In Flanders Fields please rest in peace From the noise of War's heartbeat, thunder From the tainted blood lust mist asunder Shallow foxholes still tell the secrets Of their partners loyalty The ones who never made it home To feel embrace of family So every time you feel loved Or that sense of security Please remember the choices made For glory, God and victory In Flanders Fields. In Flanders Fields let us not go To stomp the land where poppies grow But to pay respect to ones who know What pain was felt there years ago The unknown soldiers, young blood hot And the ice cold shells that cooled them Freedom reigned from rifles, not But from the souls of those who used them So put your hat on your heart or your arms to your sides Hold your head low and then close your eyes Think of the lives of those who have died The din of the sky and sweet battle cries For peace, valor, and the long lost pride In Flanders Fields.
