Third Light

Lyrics

Your head on my shoulder
 Two months you've been a soldier
 I feel so sick inside
 Two months you have been alive
 So no one here knows your surname
 No one knows from where you came
 The Red Cross takes you to your grave
 For which your government kindly pays
 WHITE CROSS upon the hillside
 There lies that unknown soldier
 No one can remember your name
 So here I stand by your graveside
 The steel helmet lies upon your cross
 They said you died for king and country
 That's no comfort to the life you've lost
 FIRST LIGHT
 The sniper saw you.
 SECOND LIGHT
 Took careful aim
 THIRD LIGHT
 He pulled the trigger on the gun
 Dead dead dead.
 WHITE CROSS upon the hillside
 There lies that unknown soldier
 No one can remember your name
 (So here beings the human harvest
 Another war to end all wars
 To give a life for rhyme nor reason
 There are no words to justify the cause
 So if our future lies in the scarlet fields
 Who would be a patriot at the price of humanity?
 WHO WOULD BE A PATRIOT AT THE PRICE OF HUMANITY?)
 No, not me
 NO NOT ME
 WHITE CROSS upon the hillside
 There lies that unknown soldier
 No one can remember the
 WHITE CROSS upon the hillside
 There lies that unknown soldier
 No one, no one, no one
