Remember - Latin Quarter

In the house of the almighty lord

They all shall come, the great and small

The have-nots, and the have-it all shall enter

There’s a body from a foreign war

It’s draped in flag, the bugle calls

To prey in sorrow, bless the cause

Remember

Shall we not remember?

But would the man from Verdun speak

Of glory if he laid a wreath?

And if the Empire called again, would he defend her?

And what of those who held Madrid

While powers stalled and freedom hid?

Or

While Roosevelt and England hid?

Or those that kept the Athens bridge

Traitored by the allied kiss?

Shall we not remember?

And who believes he came to die

For uniforms where padres hide

To bless the violence from our side

Knowing smaller nations cry

«Thou shalt not kill» — unless of course

The weak shall try and share the earth

With those who found their power of birth

Remember

Shall we not remember?
