Gone To Higher Ground


          Oh those silent whitened crosses
          Heroic symbol of a nations greatest losses
          Holding vanquished spirits of warriors slain
          Laid low to saddened trumpets refrain
          Flowers of youth planted there mouldering
          Beloved tearing
          In hallowed dust crumbling...

          bar

          But they are not there. No, not at all...
          Good troopers one and all
          Our brightest and best arose from that grassy mound
          Again they answered the greater call,

          Gone to higher ground!
