The Mansions of the Lord
To fallen soldiers let us sing
Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing
Our broken brothers let us bring
To the
mansions of the Lord No more bleeding, no more fight
No prayers pleading through the night
Just divine embrace, eternal light
To the
mansions of the Lord. Where no mothers cry and no children weep
We will stand and guard though the angels sleep
All through the ages safely keep
The mansions of the Lord.
(excerpt from "Sgt. MacKenzie" by
Joseph Kilna MacKenzie)
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Ains a year say a prayer faur me
Close yir een an remember me
|
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Once a year say a prayer for me
Close your eyes and remember me
