Bound For Glory - 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)
