Echoes of Our Times

When your country needed you
You did what you had to do
They said never we’d go through this again
Just one bullet was the start
And it ripped away the heart
A generation torn apart with the pain
We will always remember
The sacrifice you made to hold the line
We will always remember
Within our hearts these echoes of our times
You were young and you were brave
Charging on wave after wave
And your precious lives you gave under fire
Shells were raining from the sky
Still you joined the battle cry
You were fit enough to die, on the wire
We will always remember
The sacrifice you made to hold the line
We will always remember
Within our hearts these echoes of our times
And if truth we had to tell
We only stand because you fell
In the trenches of your hell you could see
You could see that it was right
That you had to stand and fight
So that good would still survive
And we’d stay free
We will always remember
The sacrifice you made to hold the line
We will always remember
Within our hearts these echoes of our times
Echoes of our times
