In the forest, in the snow All those many years ago Hailstones and epitaphs All these body bags and half-mast flags In the cemetery where they fell All those many years ago Now it’s just a memory Eroded by the years. Forgotten heroes underground Wrinkled faces gathered round Hailstones and epitaphs Roses on a barbwire fence Winter landscape, never change, Oh it must have been the same In the forest, in the snow All those many years ago Remembrance Day All they have is memories Photographs in silver frames Remembrance Day Lost forever in a field, In a foreign land, many miles away. In the forest, in the snow All those many years ago. Bombs and victims blown sky high Buried where they lie A generation underground Wrinkled faces gathered round Won’t ever bring them back Never bring them back Remembrance Day Remembrance Day.
