You can turn away, it's over,
Another day is dawning.
Wish i could hold the sunrise,
Wish sleep on a world of mourning.
Yes, let's open the window,
Let in the winter world outside.
They should hear the crying sound,
When hope is lost and grief is found.
I'll go make the coffee, just lie there and let me dream,
Of mornings like this, in years to come,
When you are still here and we are one.
Can you hear the trumpets ring,
The souls of lost heroes wake and take wing?
In hall of stone and fields once red,
We nations all sing to remember our dead.
I'll walk behind my love,
I'll place the wreath at your command.
I'll walk the aisle at your side my love,
I'll follow you to the heights above.
When you dress we join the lines;
The nameless dead and those left behind.
With no escape from memory,
As long as i live, i'll never be free from you.
Can you hear the trumpets ring,
The souls of lost heroes wake and take wing?
In hall of stone and fields once red,
We nations all sing to remember our dead.
This Is our Remembrance day,
We sing to remember the hope that was saved.
All we are, all we have is sure to decay,
So we sing to redeem the debt we cannot repay.
This is our Remembrance Day.

"Kyss Kyss" is one of the best tracks i have stumbled across in the last few years. With a memorable riff, rhythmical punch and lyrics that are both fresh and occasionally hilarious, this is a peach. Paul Connelly
