Lest we should forget
The men who gave their lives
We have built up large tombs
For those who did not survive
Whether from a pals battalion
Or brothers who died together
They were each given a grave
But their memory won't live on forever
They'll die throughout the ages
Through the sands of time
When everyone forgets their names
And commit that hideous crime
The crime of forgetting the boys
The children who are not around
Who died beofre they should have
Whose bodies were never found
‘Your country needs you!’ shouted Kitchener
And men still volunteered
They marched into battle
As if they had nothing to fear
Now if we do forget
The atrocities of war
We should be condemned to relive it
So that it may never be ignored
So never forget
The boys who died for you
The generation that was lost
A generation lost for you
