Forgotten Soldiers

We are the long forgotten Just ordinary men We fought for gain and glory And met our gory end We marched in fields of honor Cause we were in the right And ended up with nothing Torn open from the fight We are Alexander's army Or Pharaoh's lowly slaves The Romans ran us over Now we're rotting in our graves So long the woe-begotten We soldiers of the past Just pay us fond remembrance And give us peace at last
