No One Knows His Name

Magnum

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
