Though time has dintnted the heartaches, The imprints are still there. The poppies at the grave -side, The comrades, knelt in prayer. So many men have fallen, So many lives were lost The price to pay for freedom Exacts a heavy cost. Dare we forget the battles That raged on foreign shores, And live in ease and comfort Far from the cannon's roar? Lest we forget the reason, Lest we forget the tears, Lest we forget the message Passed on throughout the years: We gather to remember, To honour those who've died, And thank God for the veterans Who still stand at our side. They fought in quest for freedom, They conquered, then returned, Today we pay them homage, A tribute they have earned! We wear the blood -red poppy, The pipes sound the lament We pause for just a moment The message has been sent: "Lest we forget" it beckons, "Lest they have fought in vain, Remember -- oh, Remember! Lest we face war again!"
