When all time is joined as one,
  We pause to think of what was done,
  Remembrance Day, a day we’ve cried,
  A silence pure for those who’ve died.

  For it is war that brings our tears,
  The wars that cost us all those years,
  Although in times of distant strife,
  We still regret this waste of life.

  We shed our tears and bring to mind,
  The peaceful life they’ve left behind,
  But in the bright November sun,
  We can’t forget what wrongs were done.

They live on in our hearts and minds,
  Grief truly is, the tie that binds,
  And so we stand here, all as one,
  And realise, no wars were won.

  They died in honour and in pride,
  Don’t let their memory be denied,
  So stand in silence with your peers,
  And wash their gravestones with your tears.
