When you joined the great fallen in 1916.

Did they beat the drum slowly, did they play the fyfe lowly ?
Did they sound the Death March as they lowered you down ?
Did the band play The Last Post and chorus ?
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest ?

Did you leave any wife
or a sweetheart
behind, In some
faithful heart is your
memory enshrined ?
Although you died
back in 1916, In that
faithful heart are you
forever nineteen ?

Or are you a stranger without even a name,
Enclosed and forever behind the glass frame
In an old photograph, torn, battered and stained,
And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame ?

But here in this graveyard it's still no-man's-land, The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand,
To man's blind indifference to his fellow man, To whole generations that were butchered and damned.

Ah! young Willie McBride, I can't help wondering why.
Do those that lie here, know why that they died ?
And did they believe when they answered the call,
Did they really believe that this war would end wars ?

Well the sorrows, and the suffering,
and the glory, and the pain,
The killing and dying, were all done in vain.
