Granite Wall
Granite Wall Tribute: Carved Epitaphs of Sacrifice and Resilience
Lyrics
Those that fell today shall be
Those who died today will be
In solemn sculpture cast
Imagined or depicted in a solemn sculpture
Always held in reverence
Always respected and revered
In memory of the past
In memory of historical events
Named in tribute forevermore
Forever acknowledged or dedicated in tribute
The colours carved on the granite wall
Colors symbolically engraved on a granite wall
Folded flags awarded
Flags ceremoniously given
In the line of duty fallen
Fallen in the line of duty
Draped upon the coffin lid
Placed on the coffin lid in mourning
The banner never taken
The flag that was never surrendered or taken
The regimental crest
The symbol of the military unit
That still flies high
That still proudly endures
No colours lost, the epitaph
No loss of identity or pride, indicated in the epitaph
Attempt to take them and you shall die
Any attempt to take them (colors) will result in death
Named in tribute forevermore
Forever acknowledged or dedicated in tribute
The colours carved on the granite wall
Colors symbolically engraved on a granite wall
Carved upon the granite wall
Symbolically inscribed on the granite wall
Mankind on the brink of extinction
Humanity is on the verge of extinction
Few now left alive - the human race denied
Only a few remain alive, and the human race is denied
Mourning
The expression of grief and sorrow
The tragic loss
The sorrowful loss
Life cut short
Life cut short prematurely
This broken column
A broken column symbolizing a life interrupted
Immortal
Immortal or enduring in memory
Names shall be
Names will be remembered or honored
Carved in stone
Permanently inscribed in stone
Upon the granite wall
On the enduring granite wall
