Unknown Soldier Lyrics

World if you love me let me go

Known but to god and time

No more the architecture of man

Unknown soldier resign

My flame cold and frail

The ghost of my mother still cryin'

The last old man marched by today

Unknown soldier resign

But my symbol doesn't cover the new bones

The fourth war will be fought with stones

The centuries of men I can no longer bear

Not in my name not on my watch not in my time

The quality of war now divine

Unknown soldier resign

So I stand down as the hero of the dead

My use now only as chastity wine

And my stone heart starved without love

Unknown soldier resign

But my symbol doesn't cover the new bones

The fourth war will be fought with stones

And I am buried here alongside kings

Let me go I've served out my time

Into new wars without me you must ride

Unknown soldier resign
