Third Light Lyrics

Third Light lyrics

Your head on my shoulder

 Two months youve been a soldier

 I feel so sick inside

 Two months youd have been alive

 

 So no one here knows your surname

 No one knows from where you came

 The red cross takes you to your grave

 For which your government kindly pays

 

 White cross upon the hillside

 There lies that unknown soldier

 No one can remember your name

 

 So here i stand by your graveside

 The steel helmet lies upon your cross

 They said you died for king and country

 Thats no comfort to the life youve lost

 

 First light

 The sniper saw you.

 Second light

 Took careful aim

 Third light

 He pulled the trigger on the gun

 Dead dead dead.

 

 White cross upon the hillside there lies that unknown soldier

 No one can remember your name

 

 (so here beings the human harvest

 Another war to end all wars

 To give a life for rhyme nor reason

 There are no words to justify the cause

 So if our future lies in the scarlet fields

 Who would be a patriot at the price of humanity?

 Who would be a patriot at the price of humanity?)

 

 No, not me

 No not me

 

 White cross upon the hillside

 There lies that unknown soldier

 No one can remember the

 

 White cross upon the hillside

 There lies that unknown soldier

 No one, no one, no one
