Please Remember Me

Please Remember Me 

For those who sleep from battles lost
And paid, for us, the ultimate cost

For all who came back from war
Forever scarred by what they saw

The lucky ones,
so they say
They got to see
another day

But their friends who fell
At the toll of death’s bell
Still haunt their dreams
Upon the fields of screams

Where poppies now dwell
as a veil across hell
Where bones still lie
And the lost still cry:

Remember me, please!
Please, remember me!
I, in deepest earth
And, I, in deepest sea

Please, don’t forget
Please remember me…
