Unknown Soldier Lyrics - Bound For Glory

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)
