On The Road To Passchendaele
There’s a light that shines in Flanders
As a beacon for the brave
From the distant past it wanders
To recall the lives they gave
And it tells each generation
To be wise and never fail
And Remember Those Who've Fallen
On the road to Passchendaele
On the road to Passchendaele
On the road to Passchendaele
Where the brave will live forever
On the road to Passchendaele
Come with me and I will show you
Why all wars should ever cease
Take a walk among the gravestones
And your tears will cry for peace
For their spirits walk in Flanders
You can hear the grieving wail
For the brave who laid their lives down
On the road to Passchendaele
On the road to Passchendaele
On the road to Passchendaele
Where the brave will live forever
On the road to Passchendaele
