When the sun is in the west
You
will safely go to rest
At
the setting of the sun
With
your soldiers’ duties done
You
will feel your God is nigh
As
you ascend up to the sky
And
in earths fading light
Where
tears diminish sight
Where
loved ones question why
A
new star will grace the sky
Gleaming
bright in the firmament
Proudly
amongst the regiment
To
mark the passing of a soldier son
Who
died not seeing victory won
Now
the time that moves us most
The
plaintive lament of the last post
For
those falling fighting foes
Heads
bow as the bugle blows
