The 2014 Spean Bridge Parade And Memorial Service 12 and 13 July... When sunlight shines on our statue, it casts shadows to the ground, Can it cast the frozen fury, that these Royal Marines once found, See the courage in their bronze faces, see the pride which each one loved, Their faith in one another, that forged a bond, a brotherhood. In bronze and Scottish stone, see how strong and proud they stand, In their honour and their glory, with a brotherhood of man, The ones who died on foreign soil, did not give their lives in vain, God took them from that frozen hell, and blessed them in his name. Royal Marines who died in battles, from WWII to Belfasts streets, Call from the grave, remember us, as this statue says when we meet, Our missing brothers call us, from some place so grim and drear, Remember our misfortune, we answer, never fear. Their cause is not forgotten, for we surviving mortal men, Place a wreath and pray a prayer, that the wars will all soon end, When moonlight casts the statue, across the gleaming silver ridge, Let the spirits of the ones who died, enhance this statue here at Spean Bridge. We ask our God for guidance, as we stand in silent prayer, Our tears say that we miss them, as this statue says we care, So blow the bugle softly, let its lonely echo sound, Let the music and our memories, dedicate this special ground.
