Armistice - Remembrance - Veteran's Day lyrics

Remembrance Day, and Veterans Day

The declared ceasefire finally

For World War I's conclusion

The war to end all wars

The alliances once made

Were very different when

An end of the destruction came

In a railcar at Versailles

In the eleventh month

On the eleventh day

At the eleventh hour

The guns fell silent

In history's wake breaking

The veterans of that war

Millions now all perished

The clock ticks mercifully

Today it is no longer kept

Armistice Day, a day of peace

Instead tis Veterans Day, USA

For all those wanting peace

For some a sacred trust

A dedication to comrades

Living and dead to remember

In moments dear and tranquil
