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
