Toto Unknown Soldier lyrics

Thousands of my brothers lay before me
A hallowed ground like ghosts I hear them cry
young men taking bullets forged from blood, smoke and fear

As I enter the valley of death and heartache
a river of blood as far as the eye 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
their still fighting in the town where I was born
nothing seems to change in this world that we see

Sail on unknown soldiers


Only God knows unknown soldiers
how did they learn to hold a gun
was it just the godly oil that keeps the enemy off our shores

Sail on unknown soldiers

The tears that fall for innocence around us
the cry for peace is truly never heard
can't we see that history tells us that nothings ever learned

Shine on unknown soldiers

Sail on unknown soldiers
