Third Light by The Alarm - In Remembrance

This is the second remembrance video I have made. It is a very different tempo to the first, but it carries the same message against the tragedy of war.
I have always felt this song carried a powerful message and am glad to finally have the technology to be able to make a video to go with it.

This is for all the unknown soldiers who lie in unmarked graves or foreign fields, and for those they left behind who never knew for sure what happened to their loved ones.

No matter what your origin for your death to pass without mourning is an awful thing. So take a moment to think whilst watching this about all those who have lost their lives fighting for their country, no matter where that may be.

In remembrance.

Song: - Third Light by The Alarm


'Your head on my shoulder, two months you've been a soldier
I feel so sick inside, two months and you'd have been alive.
No one here knows your surname, no one knows from where you came
The red cross takes you to your grave for which the government kindly pays.

WHITE CROSS upon the hillside there lies that unknown soldier
No one can remember your name

Here I stand by your graveside the steel helmet lies upon your cross
They said you died for king and country but that's no comfort to the live you've lost

FIRST LIGHT, the sniper saw you.
SECOND LIGHT, took careful aim.
THIRD LIGHT, he pulled the trigger on the gun.
Dead, dead, dead

WHITE CROSS upon the hillside there lies that unknown soldier
No one can remember your name

So here begins the human harvest
Another war to end all wars
To give a life for rhyme nor reason
There are no words to justify the cause
So if our future lies in the scarlet fields
Who would be a patriot at the price of humanity?'
