Scattered on foreign fields   Lie the burnt out hulls of our dead armour   Old landscape wreckage   And this earth now scorched   Selfless acts of bravery   In the face of overwhelming force   Hold position - position held   Retained new glory sought      Shattered defenses now alone   Cover the tactical withdrawal   Outgunned, outnumbered   Though never outclassed      Spent the ammunition of faith   Weaponry exhausted   Now reduced in numbers   Numbers reduced   To the Last      Face to face with cold dead eyes      The final register of death   Crushed are the adversaries   The kill rate ratio rising   One hundred to one      Honours withheld in travesty   Presented falsely to another   With courage unspoken   All heroes die
