Flowers on the Graves
Civil
Relative, - Countrymen
Relative, - Countrymen
Bear in mind conflict
The many tolls therein
To be exacted
Take heed
Slow to the rush
That frenzy
Trumpet herald
Sounding; bark and blare
Glory, glory
The liars and march
Rally, - sway!
Marching, marching
Decorate the day
In memorial; remembrance
As to never forget, - regret!
As to not repeat
As to not repeat...
Death bloody and violent; sadly
And a great many more since
WAR
