Soldiers bear the last of the lads
In casket draped in
the union flag
And then a reverent
silence falls
Before the last post’s
mournful call
Trumpeting his journey
into grace
To feel his comrade’s
warm embrace
Goodbye Harry a
soldier known
The final Tommy going
home
Ghurka warrior
Proud and loyal
How can you take
This cruel betrayal
Always williing
To take up arms
To suffer war
And all its harms
You defended empire
And commonwealth
Fighting hand to hand
And in stealth
You stood and fought
In our nations name
How we forsake you
To our governments
shame
Ghurka warrior
Loyal and proud
You now have justice
Let us cheer you aloud
Put down your pen, write no more
Names on the honour
roll
The count is done,
praise God
Listen well as the
peace bells toll
At last, the bloodshed
is at an end
Let’s lose no more
friends or foes
Desperate years when days were dark
Some darker when
sirens were sounding
When the scared fled
to their shelters
While their Cities
took a pounding
