Don’t thank me for my service
Instead remember us when we’re gone,
In the quiet dawn or fading dusk
When shadows stretch and stars are drawn
Remember the weight I chose to bear,
The battles we fought, and the burdens we shared
The friends we lost and the nights alone
Pieces of us are forever gone
In the graveyard of empires is where we made our stand
To defend our country, we raised our hands
For we were there to guard and stand, to hold the line,
To take a stand
So, carry on with honour strong
and in that strength
We’ll live on
Don’t thank me for my service
or the sacrifice we made
Don’t look back with words unsaid
Just live the life for which we bled
