UNKNOWN SOLDIER
Anno: 1997
Gruppo: BOUND FOR GLORY
Testo e musica: Bound for Glory |Menu
You gave your 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 government's game
Giving your life for someone else's 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 no 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 politician's war
Still never knowing
what you were fighting for
You were just another number,
just another screw
Out to protect the interests
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 unknown
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 your life in a foreign land
I want you to know that I give a damn
[repeat chorus]
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 government's game
Giving your life for someone else's 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 no 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 politician's war
Still never knowing
what you were fighting for
You were just another number,
just another screw
Out to protect the interests
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

You don't know if you ever made it home

Unknown soldier in a cold, shallow grave
We know you were courageous,
we know you were brave
You gave your life in a foreign land
