War Is Over,Our Spirits Gone....

War is Over, Our Spirits Gone...

 

Belgium soil

In Flanders Fields,

We dug down deep.

Where shells and bombs 

Might not reach.

We lived in mud and filthy water,

Below deaths bugle call .....

Having won the day, there are those of us, who still now lay.

Half a million souls interred.......

In Belgium soil.

Within, which you've let us sleep

 

Our bones forever, safe you keep.
