Tell them when you get home
What we soldiers say -
That for their tomorrows
We gave up our today.
This blessed life they have
Cause we sold our breath,
For their peace & freedom
At the altar of death.
We dared every danger
With our fearless toil,
Our bravery interred
On some alien soil.
Know we loved our nation
And countrymen too,
Never let vanity
Colour us with her hue.
We cared not for treasures
Nor cared for our death,
We shed blood for honour
Until our final breath.
Our patriotism etched
On cenotaphs meek,
Pray, leave your warm wishes
For that is all we seek.
