They Will Never Know

We stood there as passers-by

Walked merrily-on-high in front of us,

Oblivious

To our existence.

We just stood there, tears at hand,

As we watched;

Young children and their parents,

The employees on the way to work,

The older generations of husbands and wives.

All the things we've seen,

All the things we've done,

Everything these people haven't,

Brought tears to our eyes.

We have saved these lives,

But they have no idea that we

Exist.

Everything we've done,

Ianto, Gwen, Jack, Owen and I

To save these people that we saw,

As we stood by the Plass,

On that single paving stone,

We knew as it began to rain...

They will never know our names.
