--For our king and our country, and the promise of glory
We came from Kingston and Brighton to fight on the front lines
Just lads from the farms and boys from the cities
Not meant to be soldiers, we lay in the trenches
We'd face the fighting with a smile ... or so we said
If only we had known what danger lay ahead
The sky turned to grey as we went into battle
On the fields of Europe young men were fallin'
I'll be back for you someday - it won't be long
If I can just hold on `til the bloody war is over
The guns will be silent - on Remembrance Day
There'll be no more fighting - on Remembrance Day
By October of `18 Cambrai had fallen
Soon the war would be over and we'd be returning
Don't forget me while I'm gone far away
Well, it won't be long `til I'm back there in your arms again
The guns will be silent - on Remembrance Day
There'll be no more fighting - on Remembrance Day
One day soon I don't know when
You know we'll all be free and the bells of peace will ring again
The time will come for you and me
We'll be going home when this bloody war has ended
The guns will be silent - on Remembrance Day
We'll all say a prayer - on Remembrance Day
... on Remembrance Day ...
... say a little prayer ...
... on Remembrance Day ...
Well, the guns will be silent
There'll be no more fighting
We'll lay down our weapons
On Remembrance Day
... on Remembrance Day ...
REMEMBRANCE DAY - Bryan Adams
