(//C)

The king’s taken back the throne.

The useless seed is sown.

When they say they’re 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

You’re still a soldier in your mind

(//C)

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,

(//C)

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

(//C)

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

(//C)

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."
