Description
They say glory is loud, but grief is quiet. I wrote "The Silence of the Poppies" to capture that heavy silence left behind when the cannons stop firing. It’s not about the victory; it’s about the empty chair at the dinner table and the letters that never came home.

I wanted to blend English with French because grief has no language barrier—and there is something hauntingly beautiful about a goodbye spoken in French.
I hope this song touches your heart as much as it did mine while creating it. If it made you feel something, please let me know in the comments. It means the world to me.
Lyrics:
The heavy rain has washed the lines you wrote
A crimson stain upon your woolen coat
The muddy trenches keep their secrets deep
While far away the lonely mothers weep
I trace the path where you were forced to go
Buried beneath the winter and the snow
Il pleut dans mon cœur ce soir
Tout est perdu dans le noir
The medals shine but they are cold to touch
For those who loved and lost so very much
Oh, glory is a lie we tell the young
A bitter song that leaves the soul undone
You gave your breath for flags of white and red
But honor implies nothing to the dead
You marched away to save the world from pain
But only echoes and the ghosts remain
The silence rings loud on the battlefield
Where fate was signed and destiny was sealed
No trumpet sound can wake you from your sleep
A promise that the heavens couldn't keep
C'est la guerre qui nous sépare
Je t'attendrai sous les étoiles
Mais le vent souffle ton nom
Comme une triste chanson
Oh, glory is a lie we tell the young
A bitter song that leaves the soul undone
You gave your breath for flags of white and red
But honor implies nothing to the dead
You marched away to save the world from pain
But only echoes and the ghosts remain
The cannons rest, the smoke has cleared away
But I am broken in the light of day
Adieu, mon amour, adieu
I will always remember you...
