In the forest, in the snow
All those many years ago
Hailstones and epitaphs
Morning bells 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 landscapea, 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
Upon the mantlepiece
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
Songs will never bring them back
Never bring them back

Remembrance Day
Tears will never bring them back
Photographs in silver frames
On the mantlepiece
Remembrance Day
Lost forever in the fields,
Of foreign land, many miles away
There they will stay

Remembrance Day
Remembrance Day
