Fading Voices lyrics

Tis sad that time has taken them

Women, men, even children of valour

That an entire world went through

Such horrors that war readily lends

Millions perished, so others lived on

All men make war, few know it true

Those of character humbly been

An honour to have shared with them

A legacy that lives on beyond them

For living in strength in their deeds

We should know their sacrifices

Because it shows we are not alone

Yellowed, tattered papers torn

Moth-holed uniforms, sit silent

And the years pass and so pain

The mercy that the grave brings

But a day will come when tomes

Will be the only witnesses left

None will sense, know first hand

The legacy in our fading voices
