We stop to say we thank youAs there is no other wayTo tell you that we love youOn this Remembrance Day

A tear drops on the ocean
From a heart that cannot healA wound that keeps on bleedingThat only they can feel

Your memories we still cherish
Although time is passing byNo more we’ll see your youthful faceAnd we keep asking why

This is the final resting placeFor Ardent and her crewTheir gallant fight was not in vainTheir likes there were but few

But one thing’s sure we won’t forget
The loss of such fine menFor every heart beat of our lifeWe will remember them
