The Song Of The Fallen Poem by Joseph Oliver

Fall with me,
Follow me in victory!
Let not the darkness win!
Let not mankind fall again!
Die without a light so warm,
for that belongs to those we defend from harm!

Fall with us,
We who do what we must!
War is never a true man's dream,
but we are Earth's supporting beam!
We who fight for peace and rest,
don our arms and protest:
“War is folly for kings and queens,
Love each other is what the Word means! ”

Fall with them,
For we deserve not our precious gems,
we who cower before death,
deserve no words for final breath!
They who die to set us free,
Kings is what they deserve to be!
Commander and officer, united as one
their will can never be undone!
