Remember their passing…<
Lorcan Otway
to the tune of Lough Hospital (streets of larado also... same tune I think...)

Flashing lights and no sirens, all emergencies over
The motorcade passes, with the heroes who fell
And all on the streets stop, and in silence bear witness

Such sorrow and thanks, no mere words can tell

Who ever can forget the gray ash covered engines
coming back from the alarm like no other before
Such pain for survivors, to embrace all the families
Of comrades so loved, now on that distant shore

Chief Downey, Father Mike, First deputy Bill Feehan
Peter Ganci and many too many to tell
Your memories we'll honor we n'er will forget you
You brought hope to the horror when the two towers fell.

Remember Tim Stakcpole, how he prayed in the wreckage
In that terrible fire that took two of his friends
So horribly injured he fought to recover
To return to his ladder and to die with his men

So tell all your children to tell all their children
never pass a firehouse without a brief pause
And thank all the heroes who work on those engines
Each day they risk all in humanities cause
