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)
