[01:49.702]What is the memory that's valued so highly
[01:57.288]That we keep it alive in that flame?
[02:00.291]What's the commitment to those who have died
[02:03.872]When we cry out they've not died in vain,
[02:06.777]We have come this far, always believing
[02:10.380]That justice will somehow prevail!
