about

With the dying of the veterans the last witnesses of the First World War are lost. Still, it can’t be forgotten that 100.000’s of soldiers and civilians died during this war. They gave their lives for our freedom and independence. You can have a barbeque, go to shows, play soccer or do whatever it is you like to do and we take all this stuff for granted. This wasn’t the case for the people who spent four years in the ice-cold, wet and stinking trenches. This song is inspired by John McCrae's poem ‘In Flanders Fields’ and by a visit to the city of Ypres and its surroundings. Here, the remnants of the Great War are still visible. Like the Menin Gate, through which the soldiers marched towards the battlefield, or the Bayerwald site, were you can walk through the trenches.

lyrics

We Are The Dead
----------------------
A salute to the Fallen
100.000 men with no known grave
50.000 names honoured
By remembrance crosses at the Menin Gate
The gateway to hell, marching off to never return
Suffering… Sacrifice…carried by courage and devotion
A few days ago we lived
Now we are…
the Dead
For freedom…For their independence…
At the going down of the sun, we will remember them
Deprived of their youth, they saw their lives perish
A sacrifice made, the outcome we cherish
In Flanders Fields, poppies growing among the graves
A symbol of remembrance for those who died to restore peace
A few days ago we lived
Now we are…
the Dead
Deprived of their youth, they saw their lives perish
A sacrifice made, the outcome we cherish
