World War II Vets, An Homage lyrics

Where are those great men now

Who gave so much in world strife

When tyrants came to take the free

To bring oppression by force of arms

Their stories now silenced in time

The passing years have taken them

Giving them peace that life retained

Like their comrades slain in the war

So history's pages yellow and tatter

Untouched pages bound together

Like those who knew the horror

A tome of terrors now made tranquil

Beware that it not repeat again

Twice the world went to war

Twice sacrifices dear were made

Their ideals once, now immeasurable

Lost, lost like signs in the sand

Stories once heartily kept forgotten

Veterans never to meet again

To be reminded of that realm surreal

Now pristine white crosses all in rows

Gardens well tended, with quiet beauty

A far contrast in those last moments

An instant, a flash, a wretched end

Today their survivors recall them

Remembering as aged and lively

For they knew the value of life so

Living for those who paid the price
