Lyrics and music by Ian Simpson
Can you hear the sound of one hundred, one hundred marching home?
Can you hear the march of one hundred, on their final journey home?
Can you hear the sound of one hundred, one hundred marching home?
Can you hear the march of one hundred, on their final journey home?

Remember shock n' awe, shown on your TV,
And weapons of mass destruction 2003.
Remember the early victory, we knocked the statue down,
Remember them wearing berets in that old Iraqi town?

Can you hear the sound of one hundred, one hundred marching home?
Can you hear the march of one hundred, on their final journey home?
Can you hear the sound of one hundred, one hundred marching home?
Can you hear the march of one hundred, on their final journey home?

Remember hearing the protest, of a million shuffling feet,
Already knew the cost of moral defeat.
Remember seeing the pictures, they found him in a hole,
Stripped him of his dignity, was that a strategic goal?
Lest we forget, lest we forget, lest we forget – our sons..
Lest we forget, lest we forget, lest we forget – our sons…

Remember the famous dossier, remember the tissue of lies,
Remember the resignation and the suicide?
Remember the roadside bombers, remember Abu Graib,
Remember 6 MPs in an angry crowd.
Lest we forget, lest we forget, lest we forget – our sons.
Lest we forget, lest we forget, lest we forget – our sons…

Can you hear the sound of one hundred, one hundred marching home?
Can you hear the march of one hundred, on their final journey home?
Can you hear the sound of one hundred, one hundred marching home?
Can you hear the march of one hundred, on their final journey home?
