[Intro]
The unknown soldier, honours the memory of all men and women, who laid down their lives for Australia.
[Verse 1]
Names lost to the winds of time,
Shadows beneath the southern pine.
No stone can hold the tale they bore,
Many lifes unlived, forevermore.
[Chorus]
Australia’s unknown soldier stands,
A silent echo across the lands.
No voice to tell the battles fought,
Just a memory time forgot.
[Verse 2]
Boots once marched through the dust and ash,
Dreams left scattered in the clash.
No letters home, no tearful gaze,
Just a starless night, an endless maze.
[Prechorus]
What were their names?
What were their dreams?
[Chorus]
Australia’s unknown soldier stands,
A silent echo across the lands.
No voice to tell the battles fought,
Just a memory time forgot.
[Bridge]
He could be yours, he could be mine,
A thread of blood through the sands of time.
In every heart, his spirit stays,
A beacon through the darkest days.
