| Lyrics: | Oh, I am the Unknown Soldier who died in World War Two.
I didn't want to fight, it was the only
thing to do.
I was the victim of a world that went insane--
Will you show me that I didn't
die in vain.
Remember me, when the crosses are a burnin',
Remember me, when the
racists come around.
Remember me, when the tides of peace are turnin',
Remember me
and please don't let me down.
On the South Pacific Islands and the Iwo Jima sands
We
raised the flag of freedom over many distant lands
And every time I killed a man my own heart
felt the pain--
Will you show me that I didn't die in vain.
Remember me, when the
crosses are a burnin',
Remember me, when the racists come around.
Remember me, when
the tides of peace are turnin',
Remember me and please don't let me down.
And I
carried my old rifle to the European shore
And every friend that died made me die a little
more.
Have pity on the man who put a bullet through my brain
And show me that I didn't die
in vain.
Remember me, when the crosses are a burnin',
Remember me, when the
racists come around.
Remember me, when the tides of peace are turnin',
Remember me
and please don't let me down.
When the Fascists started marching many millions had to
pay;
We saw them rise to power but we looked the other way.
It happened once before and it
can happen once again--
Will you show me that I didn't die in vain.
Remember me,
when the crosses are a burnin',
Remember me, when the racists come around.
Remember
me, when the tides of peace are turnin',
Remember me and please don't let me down. |
