I can't say we won the war But I can say we survived Unlike some of your close friends Who died standing by your side Did they serve their country well? Fighting in a winless war Soldiers on both sides can't tell What it is they're fighting for What were they dying for? I guess somebody lied And families felt the pain As many mothers cried And when we bought into the lie Who was counting up the cost? Underneath a foreign sky So many lives were lost Their memory will live on, live on The wall and all its casualties Live on, live on, Carved in stone for all to see Live on, live on Serve to remind us all Of the soldiers who have died And the names upon the wall Forever carved in stone The names of those who died The soldiers on the wall
