Alarm
Third Light
Your head on my shoulder Two months you've been a soldierI feel so sick insde, two months and you've been aliveNo one here knows your surname. no one knows from where you cameThe red cross takes you to your grave for which the government kindly paysWHITE CROSS upon the hillside there lies that unknown soldierNo one can remember your nameHere I stand by your graveside the steel helmet lies upon your crossTHey said you died for king and country but that's no comfort to the liveyou've lostFIRST LIGHT, the sniper saw you. SECOND LIGHT, took careful ainTHIRD LIGHT, he pulled the trigger on the gun dead dead deadWHITE CROSS upon the hillside there lies that unknown soldierNo one can remember your nameSO here begins the human harvestAnother war to end all warsTo give a life for rhyme nor reasonThere are no words to justify the causeSo if our future lies in the scarlet fieldsWho would be a patriot at the price of humanity?WHO WOULD BE A PATRIOT AT THE PRICE OF HUMANITY?
