This small spot of the ocean Holds a history mostly untold A chronicle I shall archive Incorporated 1954 This colony by the shore Into which our life we shall derive Where I was born and raised Where I spent my younger days Where one day I'll die Where my body will lie In a graveyard in Alexander Bay This will always be my home Where the shipyard's lights are shone My roots run deep in this place My family toiled and fought Against the forestrial rot And they were never displaced Where I was born and raised Where I spent my younger days Where one day I'll die Where my body will lie In a graveyard in Alexander Bay

One hundred years ago You fought in a Great War A man I will never know Only told of in my family's lore With a gun And a knife You fought o'er hill and trench For the king And country Shooting 'til every round spent Deceiver's Believer Just another life to lose Your duty To serve them You didn't have to choose But in times of war the propaganda runs deep Proclaimed that if you didn't go then you were weak The lies fed to your mind enforced your final choice Bolstered the ranks and made the generals rejoice Off you go To the front With a rifle in your hand Under fire And smokescreens In the dead of No Man's Land Enemies All 'round you But not a sclera you can see Yet somehow You survived Against the odds overseas But in times of war the propaganda runs deep Proclaimed that if you didn't go then you were weak The lies fed to your mind enforced your final choice Bolstered the ranks and made the generals rejoice Ugh Ah! This mystery veteran that I'll never know At least his story has been told A tale like that of countless others Deceased husbands, sons, and brothers Ough! This legacy defiled In the wake of revelation No great honour found in combat No patriotism for a nation Killing for those callous bastards Who squabble over borders Is no great feat to brag for Only a victim follows orders [Solo: Bobby Warlock] This mystery veteran that I'll never know At least his story has been told A tale like that of countless others Deceased husbands, sons, and brothers
