| [00:12.78] |
They told all the fine young men, |
| [00:18.16] |
"Ah, when this war is over, |
| [00:24.39] |
There will be peace, |
| [00:31.26] |
And the peace will last forever." |
| [00:36.64] |
In Flanders Fields, |
| [00:43.62] |
At Lone Pine and Bersheeba, |
| [00:48.38] |
For king and country, |
| [00:51.56] |
Honour and for duty, |
| [00:56.38] |
The young men fought and cursed and wept and died. |
| [01:05.56] |
They told all the fine young men, |
| [01:12.39] |
"Ah, when this war is over, |
| [01:17.58] |
In your country's grateful heart |
| [01:24.33] |
We will cherish you forever." |
| [01:29.70] |
Tobruk and Alamein, |
| [01:36.83] |
Bhuna and Kokoda, |
| [01:41.77] |
In a world mad with war, |
| [01:44.64] |
Like their fathers before, |
| [01:47.14] |
The young men fought and cursed and wept and died. |
| [01:53.62] |
|
| [02:05.16] |
For many of those fine young men |
| [02:12.04] |
All the wars are over, |
| [02:16.48] |
They've found their peace, |
| [02:23.13] |
It's the peace that lasts forever. |
| [02:28.12] |
When the call comes again, |
| [02:35.37] |
They will not answer, |
| [02:40.20] |
They're just forgotten bones, |
| [02:42.88] |
Lying far from their homes, |
| [02:47.76] |
Forgotten as the cause for which they died. |
| [02:51.30] |
|
| [03:45.56] |
Ah, Bluey, can you see now why they lied? |
