To fallen soldiers let us sing
where no rockets fly nor bullets wing
Our broken brothers let us bring
to the mansions of the Lord
No more bleeding no more fight
No prayers pleading through the night
just divine embrace, eternal light
in the mansions of the Lord
Where no mothers cry and no children weep
We will stand and guard tho the angels sleep
All through the ages safely keep the mansions of the Lord
(excerpt from "Sgt. MacKenzie" by Joseph Kilna MacKenzie)

Lay me doon in the caul caul groon Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun Lay me doon in the caul caul groon Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun Ains a year say a prayer faur me Close yir een an remember me |
Lay me down in the cold cold ground Where before many more have gone Lay me down in the cold cold ground Where before many more have gone Once a year say a prayer for me Close your eyes and remember me |
