No Known Grave Lyrics

Memoriam No Known Grave

A monument for the fallen
To the desolation of war
Mass multitudes bear silent witness
Their names liveth forevermore

Unknown victims
Their bodies never found
A wasted generation

Horror once inflicted
On consecrated ground
Should never be repeated

With reverence
Carved upon the wall
In deference
The cross of sacrifice stands tall

Drowning in an ocean of sadness
Amongst this vast sea of graves
Died for God and king and country
Pay tribute to the life they gave

Unknown victims
Their bodies never found
A wasted generation

Horror once inflicted
On this consecrated ground
Should never be repeated

With proud thanksgiving a mother for her children
England mourns for her dead across the sea
Flesh of her flesh they were spirit of her spirit
Fallen in the cause of the free

In remembrance
The memorial Tyne Got
The Unknown Soldier
'Known only onto God'

No known grave
