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)
