Turning In Their Grave

[Intro]
In fields of France... they gave their all,
For freedom's sake... they heard the call.

[Verse 1]
Eighteen years old, crossing the sea,
Fighting for a Britain... proud and free,
Beaches stained red... with noble blood,
For democracy... they faced the flood.

[Verse 2] 
Tommy from Yorkshire... Mary from Kent,
Their lives for Britain's future... spent,
Believing their children... would inherit peace,
That liberty's flame... would never cease.

[Bridge]
Now the silence... speaks so loud,
Would they recognize... this altered crowd?

[Chorus]
What did they die for... if this is the end?
What did they die for... when values bend?
What did they die for... tell me now,
If we've forgotten... our sacred vow?
What did they die for... in foreign sand,
To see the changing... of their land?

[Verse 3]
Streets they remember... bear different names,
The culture they cherished... no longer claims,
Traditions fading... like morning mist,
The Britain they fought for... no longer exists.

[Verse 4]
Their sacrifice honored... in marble stone,
But would they feel... this is still home?
The values they carried... into the fight,
Dimming slowly... in fading light.

[Bridge]
Poppies still bloom... but do we remember,
The price they paid... that cold December?

[Chorus]
What did they die for... if this is the end?
What did they die for... when values bend?
What did they die for... tell me now,
If we've forgotten... our sacred vow?
What did they die for... in foreign sand,
To see the changing... of their land?

[Outro]
In quiet graveyards... they rest in rows,
While the Britain they loved... transforms and goes.
