Lyrics
Who are you?                     Man condemned to shine a salvation                          throughout the centuries                                   Why ?                         Was the wine of the grail                         too sour for man to drink                               The carpenter                             carved his anchor                       on the dying souls of mankind                    On the tomb of this unknown soldier                          lay the tools of the one                            who for us had died                           Tools of the carpenter                             The one they lick                             The same old sick                      dream of their precious saviour                             Kiss them deep and                               make them weep                       over promises of eternal peace                               The carpenter                             carved his anchor                       on the dying souls of mankind                    On the tomb of this unknown soldier                          lay the tools of the one                            who for us has died                           Tools of the carpenter                                 I hear you                   through the symphonic voices of nature                      -the purity I could never doubt                      They tell me to lie on the grass                           and observe my saviour                 The one crucified to the chirping of birds                               The carpenter                             carved his anchor                       on the dying souls of mankind                    On the tomb of this unknown soldier                          lay the tools of the one                            who for us has died                           Tools of the carpenter
