All is calm and quiet on The Western Front
The landscape is lush and full of life and colour
Hiding ghostly memories and deep scars of sorrow
Man and boy they answered the rallying call to arms
For king and country they marched off into battle
They sacrificed their today to guarantee our tomorrow
The war to end all wars was the ultimate goal
Freedom from oppression and tyranny was the ideal
A world at peace once more was the dream
Hopefully we can learn some lessons from the past
History unfortunately has a habit of repeating itself
From one conflict to another or so it would seem
On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day
For those that have fallen we respectfully bow our heads
And take a moment of reflection for their souls to pray
Peace in our lifetime will we ever get to see
In Flanders Fields the poppies forever grow wild and free
