Lest we forget the men and women of our fighting force,
past and present, who have fallen in the course of battle,
Lest we forget their sacrifice today, the next day or forever more,
We must remember that they fought for what they believed in,
Echoes of the past, each generation becomes,
new wars but the same old spririt.
We fight and die for what we believe in,
whether it be just or right.
There is no right or wrong for them,
all their is is the call to duty and a roll-call
to make their peace with their maker.
Lest we forget.
Keep the flame of rememberance bright in your heart,
and each of us should be ready for the call,
to serve one's country, for it is a duty of honour.
Lest we forget the past,
Lest we misunderstand the present, and,
Lest we realise the echoes of tomorrow.
