And now they're all gone--all gone--shadows of history Princes and Pawns
And they're all gone--All gone--Remembered by crosses on lawns--
Forgotten except in a song.

Old men, broken, wheelchairs and canes are all that remain
Of the young men--back the--who gave everything for a cause

But now they're all gone--all gone--shadows of history whispers at dawn
And they're all gone--all gone--Remembered by crosses on lawns--
Forgotten except in a song.

Nobody told them--They had to fight--They thought it was worth it
They thought it was right--So they fought for their country
And what they believed and they kept us free

But now they're all gone--all gone--shadows of history Princes and Pawns
And they're all gone--all gone--Remembered by crosses on lawns--
Forgotten except in a song.
And now they're all gone--all gone--all gone--all gone
And they're all gone--All gone--Forgetting our hero's is wrong
And this isn't where they belong
Forgotten except in a song.
