Unknown Soldier Lyrics

Unknown Soldier lyrics

You gave you life in a foreign land



Did anybody ever give a damn



You fought for democracy never knowing why



That it's not your land, why should you die?



You became a pawn in the governments game



Giving your life for someone elses gain



Your number was picked, you answered the call



While some had given little you had given all











Chorus:



Rest in peace unknown soldier



The guns are now silent, the war is over



There's no more bombs, no more flames



To die was your only way out of this game



Rest in peace unknown soldier



The guns are now silent, the war is over



The jungles are now quiet, the fallen etched in stone



One day we know you'll make it back home











Sent off to battle to fight a politicians war



Still never knowing what you were fighting for



You were just another number, just another screw



Out to protect the interest of the chosen few



You fought pitched battles, facing constant heat



Now the enemy is living on your old street



The one world government opened the door and let them in



While leading men to slaughter that they couldn't win











(Repeat Chorus)











You still don't know if your name is unkown



You don't know if you ever made it home



Your family doesn't know where you lie



They haven't a clue to whether you're dead or alive



Unknown soldier in a cold shallow grave



We know you were courageous,



We know you were brave



You gave you life in a foreign land



I want you to know I give a damn











(Repeat Chorus)
