DESCRIPTION:
Hail and Farewell is our tribute to those men and women who lost their lives fighting for our country. This is not about the rights and wrongs of war, it is about the waste of human life and the human suffering. Each and everyone in Forsaken Age has a family connection to these horrible wars. Lest we forget, because if we do their sacrifice was for nothing. Donate to RSA today at www.rsa.org.nz

Lyrics:
Farewell to you Mother,
I’m leaving for war,
I hope I’ll return,
To familiar Shores,
It’s for our freedom
I sacrifice,
I’m not afraid to die for what’s right

Hail and Farewell – their mothers cry
Hail and farewell – they fight and they die
Hail and Farewell – our mothers cry
Hail and Farewell – they fight and they die

If you’re reading this,
I won’t make it home,
Know I died proudly
I wasn’t alone,
I died with my brothers,
Our souls laid bare
Thoughts led to home,
I longed to be there.

Hail and Farewell – their mothers cry
Hail and farewell – they fight and they die
Hail and Farewell – our mothers cry
Hail and Farewell – they fight and they die

Long days in trenches,
The sky is raining shells,
I don’t wanna die here
In this living hell!

Hail and Farewell – their mothers cry
Hail and farewell – they fight and they die
Hail and Farewell – our mothers cry
Hail and Farewell – they fight and they die
