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?
And families felt the pain
And when we bought into the lie
Who was counting up the cost
Their memory will live on, live on
The wall and all its casualties
Carved in stone for all to see
Of the soldiers who have died
And the names upon the wall
The names of those who died
