(//C)
The kings taken back the throne.
The useless seed is sown.
When they say theyre cutting off the phone,
(//C)
I tell 'em you're not home
No place to hide,
You're fightin' as a soldier on their side
Youre still a soldier in your mind
(//C)
Though nothing's on the line
You say its money that we need,
As if were the only mouths to feed.
And no no matter what you say,
(//C)
Theres some debts you'll never pay.
Working for the church while your family dies
You take what they give you
And you keep it inside.
Every spark of friendship and love
will die without a home
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone".
I can taste the fear.
Lift me up and take me out of here.
Dont wanna fight, dont wanna die
(//C)
Just wanna hear you cry.
Whos gonna throw the very first stone?
Oh! whos gonna reset the bone?
Walking with your head in a sling
(//C)
Wanna hear the soldier sing:
"Been working for the church while my family dies.
Your little baby sisters gonna lose her mind.
Every spark of friendship and love
will die without a home."
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone."
I can taste your fear.
Its gonna lift you up and take you out of here.
And the bone shall never heal;
I care not if you kneel.
We cant find you now,
But theyre gonna get their money back somehow.
And when you finally disappear,
We'll just say you were never here.
Working for the church while
your life falls apart.
Singin' hallelujah with the fear in your heart.
Every spark of friendship and love
will die without a home."
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone."
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone."
