eleventh day of the eleventh month,
a day set aside to honor and love,
to thank those who gave,
to thank those who fought,
for those who returned,
and defended us all.
eleventh day to mark a time,
eleventh month the season come's,
the cold is felt,
like war it's fierce,
some gave all,
all gave some.
eleventh day of the eleventh month,
before the dawn we heard the drums,
the bugle call,
we are alert,
battle stations,
till we're buried in dirt.
