Victory

Death came by spear and blade
Sprawled across the fields they lay

And their blood soaks into the ground
Those who are left will bury the slain
All men live or dead
Each must make his way home

Dedicate the victory won
To the widows and fatherless sons

Banners wave
Emblems fade
Children sing a song of honour and tears

Graves and shadow feed our regret
Can a man heal and still not forget?

Banners wave
Emblems fade
Children sing a song of honour

And their blood soaks into the ground
Those who are left will bury the slain
All men live or dead
Each must make his way home

Banners wave
Emblems fade
Children sing a song of honour and tears
