Unsung Heroes Lyrics - On Divine Winds - Hail Of Bullets

Catastrophe at Bataan 

Finished gallant stand 

First encounter made 

Those they fought Valiant 

With high forced tempo 

The infamous death March 

Kicking, beatings, stabbings 

Merciless guards 

Without food or water 

Not allowed to rest 

Constant molestations 

The heat intense 

Executions 

Bewildered men 

With loss of thousands 

Assembled in camps 

Emaciated corpses 

Depressed environment 

Deteriorating carcasses 

Malnutrition ailments 

Nightmare of captivity 

This condition is Hell 

General debilitation 

Repulsive smells 

Herded into holds 

Destination Japan 

Space inadequate 

Lack of oxygen 

Crazed by dehydration 

Shivering from cold 

Dying of pneumonia 

Or US torpedoes 

Humiliation 

Exhaustion 

No medication 

Inanition 

Deprivation 

Starvation 

Day of liberation 

Some fortunate survived 

Lived to tell their tales 

Traumatized for life 

No medal or promotion 

We must never forget 

All those unsung heroes 

Forever we're in debt
