Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier

I feel the cold thud of hot lead Against my beating chest And as I fall the colours drain from me All life I once posessed... War began two years ago When I was 17 I tried to volunteer They knocked me back I couldn't pass the screen They said "Boy, you're too young To go war, to fire a gun" I wish that I had listened then To what they said I was untrained and unprepared Never told I should be scared (I saw things that no man should ever see) Staring death right in the face When I've not even run the race The war was raging on For 10 years with no signs of ending The men up top were scared They'd lost so many troops they're sending So we were sent away To fight under the desert sun Only to find our forces Crippled, understocked and on the run They came from all directions They came from holes under the ground But when we finally saw them It was too late It was too late for me I was untrained and unprepared Never told I should be scared (I saw things that no man should ever see) Staring death right in the face When I've not even run the race I was untrained and unprepared Never told I should be scared (I saw things that no man should ever see) Staring death right in the face When I've not even run the race Just a conscript sent to die Without ever knowing why So many sent to die in vain Without a grave to bear their name We lie unknown We die so far from home There's nothing left...
