Echoes Of
Heroes
Now
the echo of the heroes is heard everywhere
In
the conflict of old in the times of despair
All
down through the ages the voices do ring
They
cry out of victory and of freedom they sing
CHORUS
And
the echo of the laughter and the songs that they sung (sang)
The
whine of the steel and the roar of the guns
And
the tolling of the bell and the cries of the lame
And
the echoes of heroes roll down through the ages to remind us again
In
the fields of Flanders the brave ones do lie
At
Verdun and Ypres where a million men died
From
the Marne to the Somme to the Normandy shore
Their
spirits go marching where the wild eagles soar
On
the land, in the sky, in the oceans they come
All
onward they march as the drummers do drum
Their
faces are bloody and their weapons are worn
Their
bones are all shattered and their bodies all torn
CHORUS
Must
this be the road we are travelling yet
Must
this be the time when nations forget
All
the sons and the fathers who joined in the fray
To
be killed and destroyed and be buried in the clay
CHORUS
(Twice)
