No One Knows His Name

Lay down your rifle

Your sacrifice

Lost in the thunderous noise

Thousands will slumber

So far from home

Those who weren't there criticise

All dressed in black

Deep as red wine forever there

Letters not sent

They will decline one sacred prayer

And the rain still comin' down

In the churchyard no one's about

No one knows his name

Took a lifetime to work it out

They all pass away in time

It's too cold on this winters day

As you concentrate the flame

Burning brighter so far away

Memories golden

Nothing is lost

A woman stands holding his life

Carries the worries carved in her face

She won't be sleeping tonight

All dressed in black

Deep as red wine forever there

Letters not sent

They will decline one sacred prayer

And the rain still comin' down

In the churchyard no one's about

No one knows his name

Took a lifetime to work it out

They all pass away in time

It's too cold on this winters day

As you concentrate the flame

Burning brighter so far away
