ON THE ROAD TO PASSCHENDAELE by Alan Brydon and Major Rtd Gavin Stoddart MBE BEM

There's a light that shines is Flanders
as a beacon for the brave
From the distant past it wanders
to recall the lives they gave
And they tell each generation
to be wise and never fail
To remember those who've fallen
on the road to Passchendaele

On the road to Passchendaele
On the road to Passchendaele
Where the brave will live forever
On the road to Passchendaele
On the road to Passchendaele
On the road to Passchendaele
Where the brave will live forever
On the road to Passchendaele

Come with me and I will show you
why all wars should ever cease
Take a walk among the gravestones
and your tears will cry for peace
For the spirits walk in Flanders
You can hear the grieving wail
For the brave who laid their lives down
on the road to Passchendaele

On the road to Passchendaele
On the road to Passchendaele
Where the brave will live forever
On the road to Passchendaele
On the road to Passchendaele
On the road to Passchendaele
Where the brave will live forever
On the road to Passchendaele

Scocha version.

Alan Brydon is a former member of the band Scocha from Hawick in the Scottish Borders. It is on their album Scattyboo. Possibly his best known song after his other WW1 song Calling Down The Line.
