Words and music by Andrew Dutney

lyrics

Lest we remember,
lest we recall,
we'll build ourselves a monument,
we'll sanctify the war.
We'll number our heroes.
The dead we'll ignore.
Nobody remembers what the young ones dies for.

Lest we remember,
lest we recall,
in case we remember the pain of it all.

And over and over we'll tell it again:
the story of bravery,
of dashing young men.
The reasons we'll argue,
the blame we will lay,
'till truth as we tell it
is history some day.

Lest we remember,
lest we recall,
in case we remember the pain of it all.
Lest we remember,
lest we recall,
in case we find reason for just one more war.
