Long are the days
When battle looms near
We wait alone
Surrounded by fear

Though we are many
Joined in this war
Each man stands alone
On this far shore

When will it come
The next frightening wave
Will we survive
Or lie low in a grave

All of our men
Stand ready to fight
From start of day
‘Til coming of night

Again and again
This pattern repeats
The low drums of war
Never cease to beat

For Freedom we fight
Liberty at stake
Death, bloodshed and pain
All lie in our wake

When at last this ends
And we are gone from this place
Who will remember
Know our name or our face

Our families will grieve
As victors rejoice
The Words that we write
Remain our last voice

The price has been paid
The cost quite dear
To live in a world
Without any fear

Remember the soldiers
Some who gave all
The peace they have fought for
Once and for all
