No One Knows His Name

(Album: Into The Valley Of The Moon King - 2009)

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 coming down
In the churchyard no one's about
I bet no one knows his name
Took a lifetime to work it out
They all pass away in time
It's too cold on this winter's 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 coming down
In the churchyard no one's about
I bet no one knows his name
Took a lifetime to work it out
They all pass away in time
It's too cold on this winter's day
As you concentrate the flame
Burning brighter, so far away

And the rain still coming down
In the churchyard no one's about
I bet no one knows his name
Took a lifetime to work it out
They all pass away in time
It's too cold on this winter's day
As you concentrate the flame
Burning brighter, so far away
So far away
Far away
