The king's taken back the thrown
The useless seed is sewn
Then they say they're cuttin' off the phone
Well, tell ‘em we’re not home

No place to hide
You're fightin' as a solider on their side
You're still a soldier in your minds
But nothin’s on the line

Say it's money that we need
As if there were only mouths to feed
And knowin' no matter what you say
There's some debts you’ll never pay

Workin' for the church while you family dies
They take what they give you and they 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 outta 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?
Walkin' with your head in a sling
Wanna hear the soldier sing

Workin' 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 you fear (taste you fear)
It’s gonna lift you up and take you outta hear (take you outta hear)
And the bone shall never heal
And I cannot make you kneel

We can’t find you now (find you now)
But they’re gonna get their money back somehow (money back somehow)
And when you finally disappear
Will they say you were never hear?

You’ve been workin’ for the church while your life falls apart (your life, it falls apart)
Singin’ “Hallelujah” with the fear in your heart (the fear is 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
