Unknown Soldier
Unknown Soldier----
struggles under
he lies there----
oh, somewhere---
what a blunder
out there on the plains
life given in vain
Take me----
home please---
love me
hold me
my sweet love
ease my pain
bury me back on
the country lane
Oh, help me I'm
the unknown soldier
Honey, honey
This tortured land is cursed, not where they should lay me...
Lay me...
Oh, tell them I'm the unknown soldier
Darling, darling
Please take me to
the promise land...
Oh, save me...
Save me!
Blasted civil war----
gray-blue soldiers onward
marching ever forward
bodies flew----
cannons fired
in the mud-caked mire
My faith, profound
now lying undergound..
Oh, help me I'm the unknown soldier...
Baby, baby...
This tragic ground
is where the enemy
slayed me...
We charged the hill
now laying still...
I fought for country
please bury my bones
so I can have peace...
I lie here nameless
not shameless
or blameless
my choice
an unheard voice...
Where's my mom
I'm desperate
soulless and
woebegone...
Oh,
Bestow my soul,
feel my spirit atone
please honey bring me
back
home...
I'm the unknown soldier...
