Battle of the Somme

 

Near a river called the Somme

A battle was fought where noone won

A million dead all scattered around

The fought and died for a mile of ground

Bless those souls that fought and died

Forgive them that do talk in pride.

It\'s not a joke when men run to their deaths

For their land and give their last breaths.

I will not forget those

For all their hearts froze

Men living in fear 

Brings me to tears

Live for their honour

Live in liberty

They gave all 

So we can sleep peacefully

In all of the bravery 

Faced with adversary

Sound of a mortar 

Tremble a mortal!

Pray that we never 

Suffer this blow

Unite all nations 

Never a foe.
