The king's taken back the throne

The useless seed is sown

When they say they're cutting off the phone

I'll 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

But nothing's on the line

You say it's money that we need

As if we're the 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

Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home

Hear the soldier groan we'll got it at alone

I can taste the fear

Lift me up and take me out of here

Don't want to fight, don't want to die

Just want to hear you cry

Who's gonna throw the very first stone

Oh, who's gonna re set the bone

Walking with your hand in a sling

Wanna hear the soldier sing

Working for the church while my family dies

You're 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 got it at alone

I can taste your fear

It's gonna lift you up and take you out of here

If the bone shall never heals

I care not if you kneel

You can't find me now

But they're gonna get their money back somehow

And when you finally disappear

We'll just say you were never here

Been working for the church while your life falls apart

Been singing hallelujah with the fear in your heart

Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home

Hear the soldier groan we'll got it at alone

Hear the soldier groan we'll got it at alone
