Sacrificed, creating seas of red,
Red poppies the colour of blood,
Blood shed by countless men,
Men standing amongst the petals,
Petals fall as they once fell,
Fell as they bravely fought,
Fought for hope, for life,
Life lost.

Lost in seas of red,
Red poppies coat the ground,
Ground once trampled by countless feet,
Feet of the men doomed to die,
Die fighting for their belief,
Belief in the impossible,
Impossible hope, impossible life,
Life wasted.

Wasted away in seas of red,
Red poppies standing tall,
Tall like the countless soldiers,
Soldiers proud and willing,
Willing to do what is right,
Right to protect their home,
Home of hope, of life,
Life sacrificed.
