Diary of an Unknown Soldier/The Lost Battalion

[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
