The Unknown Soldier
Standing in front of your grave
It’s withered, so I can‘t read your name
It was the year 1915
Oh, I hope you didn’t die in so much pain
Some french-looking words are set in stone
And your battered helmet peaks out of the ground
The Nomansland is green again
And the sky is filled with the chirp of the birds around
And I can’t find an answer
Did you love the war or so?
Were you free to choose
Or forced to go?
Oh, my unknown soldier
You’ve fought enough, you fell in vain
My dear
And I'm getting older
So no one will remember you while time flies
They’ll forget
Your fears
Standing in front of your grave
On the mossy stone bloom some pretty bluebells
It‘s peaceful, no one's there
Outrageous, right here you went through hell
I wonder how your mother felt
Did she expect your death or hope to the last day?
Now is the world in harmony?
Dreams came true but you
Yes, you passed away
And I can't find an answer
Did you love the war or so?
Were you free to choose
Or forced to go?
Oh, my unknown soldier
You’ve fought enough, you fell in vain
My dear
And I'm getting older
So no one will remember you while time flies
They’ll forget
Your fears
And I´m waiting for a sign
Cause I don't know, are you in heaven now?
It´s time
It's time that we learn this lesson
Oh, my unknown soldier
You’ve fought enough, you fell in vain
My dear
And I'm getting older
So no one will remember you while time flies
They’ll forget
Your fears
