Memorial Day/Rememberance Day lyrics

A voice jovially issues

A "Happy Memorial Day"

For us, it's a happy death day

There are no barbeques

No parties and drink

At my quiet home

For here lives conflict

Wars unending

Lives unmending

Silence reigns supreme

Where chaos once ruled

And destinies were met

Here on guiltless grounds

Survival is now a liability

Unknown to stifled dead

No one will take notice

Fewer still give thought

To a veteran in turmoil

Counting down the days

Fewer to be and no wake up

Getting short, on death days
