The Ballad of Cpl. Hornburg |
Remember me, I’m the one |
The nation’s fiercest son |
The battle will be won |
If my memory marches on |
Remember me, I’m the man |
My soul dwells in a foreign land |
I can rest in peace |
If you remember me |
Remember me |
The towers high, they knocked them down |
So we put our boots onto their ground |
So we poured our blood into their soil |
Until our tears began to boil |
Did we fight a battle just |
We poured our blood into the dust |
We tore our hearts despite the cost |
Our memories won’t be lost |
Remember me, I’m the one |
The nation’s fiercest son |
The battle will be won |
If my memory marches on |
Remember me, I’m the man |
My soul dwells in a foreign land |
I can rest in peace |
If you remember me |
Remember me |
The king’s own, dispatch reports |
He bled for Lord Strathcona’s horse |
A battlefield in Panjwayi |
Is where my body lay |
I’m only one, I share the fate |
Of 158 |
All were loved and lost |
To the mother of the silver cross |
Remember me, I’m the one |
The nation’s fiercest son |
The battle will be won |
If my memory marches on |
Remember me, I’m the man |
My soul dwells in a foreign land |
I can rest in peace |
If you remember me |
Remember me |
