The Unknown Soldier
Sturmgeist Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There is no place for me
In the land I loved
Father's dead and Mother's gone
I will not come back

In every house they wait
For the guest that will not come
In every bed they wait
For the man who isn't home

Take it all make it yours
I have no more dreams
Love me now when I'm gone
I won't know how it ends

There is no place for me
In the land I loved
Father's dead Mother's gone
I will not go back

Little sister think of me
I tried to keep you safe
Father's dead Mother's gone
We won't meet again

In every heart he's missed
The lover and the friend
In every war's fire
The unknown soldier's end
In every war's fire
The unknown soldier's end

Little sister think of me
I tried to keep you safe
Father's dead Mother's gone
We won't meet again
Bury me in the sea
Leave this world to the worms




Erase my name forget my face
We won't meet again

Overall Meaning

The song "The Unknown Soldier" by Sturmgeist is a haunting and melancholic reflection on the devastating effects of war. The singer laments that there is no place for them in the land they once loved, as both their father and mother have passed away. They have no more dreams and have resigned themselves to the fact that they will not return. The lover and friend that many hold dear will not come home, and the song emphasizes the emptiness and longing that those left behind feel.


The singer's little sister is mentioned, and they ask her to think of them as they have tried to keep her safe. The singer wishes to be buried in the sea and asks to be forgotten. The unknown soldier's end is a common theme in war songs, emphasizing the anonymity and disregard for life that soldiers sometimes face. The song is somber and reflective, shedding light on the casualties and loss that occur both during and after times of war.


Line by Line Meaning

There is no place for me
I feel lost and disconnected from my homeland


In the land I loved
The place that I cherished and called home


Father's dead and Mother's gone
My parents have passed away and I am all alone


I will not come back
I have accepted that I cannot return to the place that I once knew


In every house they wait
Those left behind are still waiting for me to come home


For the guest that will not come
They still hope that I will return, but know it is unlikely


In every bed they wait
Every night they lie awake, fearful and uncertain


For the man who isn't home
But I am not there, and they do not know where I am


Take it all make it yours
I have nothing left, please take what you can


I have no more dreams
I have given up on hope for the future


Love me now when I'm gone
Please remember me with love when I am no longer here


I won't know how it ends
I will never know how my story ultimately concludes


Little sister think of me
My younger sister, please remember me and know that I tried to protect you


I tried to keep you safe
I did everything I could to shield you from harm and danger


We won't meet again
Our time together has ended, and we will not see each other once more


In every heart he's missed
Those who loved and knew me will always grieve for me


The lover and the friend
As both a lover and a friend, I will be sorely missed


In every war's fire
In the chaos of war and battle


The unknown soldier's end
I will be one of many nameless soldiers who lost their lives


Bury me in the sea
My body should be consigned to the ocean


Leave this world to the worms
After I am gone, I will return to the earth and be reclaimed by nature


Erase my name forget my face
Please do not remember me as an individual or a hero


We won't meet again
Once again, our paths will never cross
