>>> Never forget...

Honor the Fallen
A Bombshell in Parliament

In trampled fields
through the dirty mud
and floods of blood
under torn flags.

Hot lead flies free
shells scream down
explosions bloom
flesh torn apart.

Raise the flags
paint them red
black stripes
red lines.

They rose up
felt it in their bones
as they fell
they died for us.

They died for YOU!

Honour the dead
Remember the fallen
Feel it in your bones
NEVER FORGET!

We died for YOU!

In cloudy skies
through the killer flak
and swarms of steel
under torn flags.

Hot lead flies free
down in flames
bombs fall like rain
flesh torn apart.

Raise the flags
paint them red
black stripes
red lines.

They rose up
felt it in their bones
as they fell
they died for us.

They died for YOU!

Honour the dead
Remember the fallen
Feel it in your bones
NEVER FORGET!

We died for YOU!

Storm-tossed seas
through the deep blue
within iron hulls
under torn flags.

Hot lead flies free
torpedoes shot
decks holed and sunk
flesh torn apart.

Raise the flags
paint them red
black stripes
red lines.

They rose up
felt it in their bones
as they fell
they died for us.

They died for YOU!

Honour the dead
Remember the fallen
Feel it in your bones
NEVER FORGET!

NEVER FORGET
WHO DIED FOR YOU
NEVER FORGET

NEVER FORGET
WHO DIED FOR YOU
NEVER FORGET

NEVER FORGET
WHO DIED FOR YOU
NEVER FORGET
WE DIED FOR YOU

We died for YOU!

... your fallen heroes.

So Many Miles
A Bombshell In Parliament

I have promises to keep 
and miles to go before I sleep
but tears flow and eyes weep
with miles to go before I sleep.

Tired and drained so deep
and miles to go before I sleep
the machines steadily beep
with miles to go before I sleep.

There is no use for tomorrow
and none for yesterday
but it's all for the morrow
and all through today!

Across the sky minutes creep
as feet drag, as blood seeps
miles to go before I sleep (So many miles!)
so many before I sleep (So many miles!)

Tired and drained so deep
and miles to go before I sleep
the machines steadily beep
with miles to go before I sleep.

There is no use for tomorrow
and none for yesterday
but it's all for the morrow
and all through today!

Across the sky minutes creep
as feet drag, as blood seeps
miles to go before I sleep (So many miles!)
so many before I sleep. (So many miles!)

So many miles! (So many miles!)
So many miles! (So many miles!)
So many miles! (So many miles!)

I have promises to keep 
and miles to go before I sleep
but tears flow and eyes weep
with miles to go before I sleep.

So many miles! (So many miles!)
So many miles! (So many miles!)
So many miles! (So many miles!)

In the end,
                    BURY.
                             ME.
                                 DEEP.

... of morose lyrics.
