Third Light (Live KBFH) Lyrics

This is called Third Light
Your head on my shoulder two months you抳e been a soldier
I feel so sick inside, two months and you抎 have been alive
So here I stand by your graveside the steel helmet lies upon your cross
They said you died for king and country but that抯 no comfort to the life you抳e lost
WHITE CROSS upon the hillside there lies that unknown soldier
No one can remember your name (no one at all)
So here I stand by your graveside the steel helmet lies upon your cross
They said you died for all the people
I said That is no life you've had
FIRST LIGHT the sniper saw you.
SECOND LIGHT took careful aim
THIRD LIGHT he pulled that trigger
On the gun dead dead dead.
WHITE CROSS upon the hillside
There lies that unknown soldier
No one can remember your name (no one at all, too late)
(no one at all)
(no one at all)
(no one at all)
(no one)
(no one)
(no one)
WHITE CROSS upon the hillside
There lies that unknown soldier
No one can remember your name (no one at all)
Too late
No one here knows your surname, no one knows from where you came
The red cross takes you to your grave for which the government kindly pays
So here beings the human harvest
Another war to end all wars
To give a life for rhyme nor reason
There are no words to justify the cause
So if our future lies in the scarlet fields
Who would be a patriot at the price of humanity?
WHO WOULD BE A PATRIOT AT TH RPICE OF HUMANITY?
