Those Once Loyal

Valiant in the midst of conflict
In memoriam honours distinctive
At half-mast the colours are raised
The tragic waste of life once gave 

Immortalised plaque of remembrance
With reverence their names are listed
Glorified and in honour held
 [bad word] of those that fell 

To those once loyal now wreathed in crimson
Solemn reminder of silent sacrifice
To the once loyal forever wrapped in glory
In white crossed acres - lines of sorrow laid 

To those once loyal now wreathed in crimson
Solemn reminder of silent sacrifice
To the once loyal forever wrapped in glory
In white crossed acres - lines of sorrow laid 

Brave are the deeds
Of fallen victorious
Never forgotten
Lonely are the glorious
