(In Honour of the 137th Battalion)

There was no battle here
Hundreds of soldiers on their knees
Arranged the stones before going to war
Let these rocks remind you, for
There was no battle here

All of us are gone
Our voices now are still
But we’ve left our mark in stone
Standing vigil on Signal Hill

Twenty thousand stones with our fingerprints
Four Battalion numbers by our Sarcee tents
A stark reminder of the lives we spent
So there’ll be no battles here

There was no battle here
Hundreds of soldiers on their knees
Arranged the stones before going to war
Let these rocks remind you, for
There was no battle here

So few of us returned
The dead cried the tears’
The province said no monument
Because, there was no battle here

We came, we trained, we crossed the sea
To fight for peace and liberty
And so to protect our great country
So there’d be no battles here

There was no battle here
Hundreds of soldiers on their knees
Arranged the stones before going to war
Let these rocks remind you, for
There was no battle here

The future lives in you
Our work here is done
Re ... mem … ber us
The Soldiers of World War One

12,000 men from Camp Sarcee
Let these rocks be our legacy
Show the world, be a soldier for Peace
So there’ll never be battles here

There was no battle here
Hundreds of soldiers on their knees
Arranged the stones before going to war
Let these rocks remind you, for
There was no battle here
