Lyrics

As I was walking into town
Someone said to me
Will you buy a flower to
Wear on this Sunday?
Something in the way he stood
The way he looked at me
Seemed to say he wouldn't take
Refusal too kindly
Now Im not one to judge a man
By appearance or by age
But Im not sure
The theatre of war
Had seen him walk the stage
In Flanders Fields remember me
Victims of inhumanity
Does the token you pin to your chest
For one day every year
Sanitise the abattoir
Or dry the widows tears
Thoughts and prayers and silences
Leaders laying wreaths
Hollow trophies
Dying flowers
To fill the mantle piece
Marching bands and uniforms
Performative parades
Hide the barbed wire and the mustard gas
The stench of flesh decayed
In Flanders Fields remember me
Victims of inhumanity
Black crosses
White crosses
One and the same
On both sides
Grow Poppies
In Belgian rain
So Im sorry
But I will not
Share in your shame
The same flowers grow
On new graves and
Fields bloom again
In Flanders Fields remember me
Victims of inhumanity
