Thousands of my brothers lay before me
A hallowed ground like ghosts I hear them cry
Young men taking bullets fordstrum blood smoke and fear
As I enter the valley of death and heartache
A river of blood as far as I can see
Angry and confused it's hard to stand and walk the line
Shine on unknown soldiers
They fought and died at Gettysburg and Shiloh
They're still fighting in the town where I was born
Nothing seems to change in this world that we see
Sail on unknown soldier
Only God knows all the unknown soldiers
How did they learn to hold a gun?
Was it just that got the oil to keep the enemy off our shores
Sail on unknown soldier
The tears that fall for innocence around us
The cry for peace is truly never heard
Why can't we see that history tells us
Nothing's ever learned?
Shine on unknown soldiers
Sail on unknown soldiers
