no more the bugle sounds the battle cry
no more the cannons' roar
never again
no more the bugle sounds the battle cry
no more the cannons' roar

did the bugles sing 'the last post' in chorus?
did the pipes play 'the flowers of the forest'?
did the rifles fire o'er ye over as they lowered you down?
did the bugles sing 'the last post' in chorus?

lay me down in forest lawn in a silver casket
with golden flowers over my head in a silver basket. let the drum and bugle corp play taps while cannons roar. while sixteen liveried employees sell souvenirs from the funeral store. i wanna go simply when i go. they'll give me a simple funeral there
i know. with a casket lined in fleece and the fireworks spelling out rest in peace

with golden flowers over my head in a silver basket. let the drum and bugle corp play taps while cannons roar. while sixteen liveried employees sell souvenirs from the funeral store. i wanna go simply when i go. they'll give me a simple funeral there
i know. with a casket lined in fleece and the fireworks spelling out rest in peace
a two minute silence for the military dead
bugles blow and wreaths are lain
marching columns with banners stained
a two minute silence for the military dead
bugles blow and wreaths are lain
marching columns with banners stained

they can play a bugle call like you never heard before
so natural that you want to go to war--
it's the best band in the land!
they can play a bugle call like you never heard before
so natural that you want to go to war--
and they laid him sad and lonely within his nameless grave
no more the bugle calls the weary one
rest noble spirit in their graves unknown
and they laid him sad and lonely within his nameless grave
no more the bugle calls the weary one
rest noble spirit in their graves unknown
wear it like a badge of courage on my heart
so sound the bugle and beat the drums
the sky has turned blood-red at the setting of the sun
wear it like a badge of courage on my heart
so sound the bugle and beat the drums
the sky has turned blood-red at the setting of the sun
give me a ship and i'll sail it
give me a bugle and i'll toot it
give me a gun and i'll shoot it
give me a ship and i'll sail it
give me a bugle and i'll toot it
give me a gun and i'll shoot it
i know you don't have room or time to be you
the sound of foghorn or the bugle
i know that you can hum the tune
i know you don't have room or time to be you
the sound of foghorn or the bugle
i know that you can hum the tune
stay hard! stay hard!
hear the bugle call in golden starlight
we're on highway to heaven
stay hard! stay hard!
hear the bugle call in golden starlight
we're on highway to heaven
