Prompt / Lyrics
[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] They're turning in their grave beneath the stone, Would they recognize what we call home? [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, Turning in their grave across this 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] They're turning in their grave, can't you see? This isn't the Britain they died to free. [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, Turning in their grave across this land? [Outro] In quiet graveyards they rest in rows, While the Britain they loved transforms and goes.
