Diary of an Unknown Soldier/The Lost Battalion

Lyrics

[I. Diary of an Unknown Soldier] I remember the Argonne, 1918 The sounds of that battle still haunt me to this day Machine gun fire from enemy lines The sickening sound of a bayonet tearing through human flesh The soldier next to me firing his sidearm in desperation All these sounds still echo in my mind And as conducted by Death himself it all comes together as music A rhythm of death A symphony of war [II. The Lost Battalion] [Intro] Far from their land as they made their stand They stood strong and the legend still lives on [Verse 1] 1918 the Great War rages on A battalion is lost in the Argonne Under fire there's nothing they can do There's no way they can get a message through [Pre-Chorus 1] Suffer heavy losses as the battle carries on Liberty Division standing strong [Chorus] Far from their land as they made their stand A disregarded demand It's surrender or die and the stakes are high They live or they die, there's no time for goodbye Weapon in hand as they made their stand Still disregarding demand They would never comply, they would rather die Broke through the blockade, they were finally saved [Verse 2] Friendly fire, munitions running low The supplies, they were dropped upon their foe 1918 the war still rages on The battalion still trapped in the Argonne [Pre-Chorus 2] Chose not to surrender, they chose victory or defeat Fallen brothers resting by their feet [Chorus] Far from their land as they made their stand A disregarded demand It's surrender or die and the stakes are high They live or they die, there's no time for goodbye Weapon in hand as they made their stand Still disregarding demand They would never comply, they would rather die Broke through the blockade, they were finally saved [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Far from their land as they made their stand A disregarded demand It's surrender or die and the stakes are high Live or die, who can tell there's no goodbye With a weapon in hand as they made their stand Still disregarding demand They would never comply, they would rather die They stood strong and the legend still lives on [Pre-Chorus 3] Suffered heavy losses through the Great War they stood strong But the memory of the fallen still lives on [Chorus] Far from their land as they made their stand A disregarded demand It's surrender or die and the stakes are high They live or they die, there's no time for goodbye Weapon in hand as they made their stand Still disregarding demand They would never comply, they would rather die Broke through the blockade, they were finally saved
