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're fightin' 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 the only mouths to feed.
And no no matter what you say,
There's 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.
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 soldier 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 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."
