The king´s taken back the throne
|
The useless seed is sown
|
When they say they´re cutting off the phone
|
I tell ´em you´re not home
|
|
No place to hide
|
You were fighting as a soldier on their side
|
You´re still a soldier in your mind
|
Though nothing´s on the line
|
|
You say it´s money that we need
|
As if we´re only mouths to feed
|
I know no matter what you say
|
There are 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
|
Ever spark of friendship and love will die without a home
|
Hear the solider groan, "We´ll go at it alone"
|
|
I can taste the fear
|
Lift me up and take me out of here
|
Don´t wanna fight, don´t wanna die
|
Just wanna hear you cry
|
|
Who´s gonna throw the very first stone?
|
Oh! Who´s gonna reset the bone?
|
Walking with your head in a sling
|
Wanna hear the solider sing:
|
"Been working for the Church while my family dies
|
Your little baby sister´s 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
|
It´s gonna lift you up and take you out of here
|
And the bone shall never heal
|
I care not if you kneel
|
|
We can´t find you now
|
But they´re gonna get the 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
|
Singing halleluiah with the fear in your heart
|
Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home
|
Hear the solider groan, "We´ll go at it alone"
|
Hear the solider groan, "We´ll go at it alone"
|
