Soldier Song Songtext
von Firebrands

There′s a bus rolling down the road
Kicking up dust as it goes
It stops at the tattered mailbox signs
Pigs and babies, mama's crying
′Cause power ain't found in a gun and badge
It can't be found in drugs or cash
Believe a lie your heart knows ain′t true
Dead and life, boy, the powers can′t do

What on earth are you marching for? (Soldier)
In the jungle when it rains it pours (Soldier)
In the end it's not your war (Soldier)
So what on earth are you marching for? (Soldier)

Time to open your eyes, soldier
Time to take ′em by surprise, soldier
Time to know good and despise, soldier

Take back your life

You gotta take back your life


They're coming to take you away
They′re coming to take you away
They're coming to take you away
They′re coming to take you away
They're coming to take you away
They're coming to take you away

Today

What on earth are you marching for? (Soldier)
In the jungle when it rains it pours (Soldier)
In the end it′s not your war (Soldier)
So what on earth are you marching for? (Soldier)

This is my rifle
There are many like it, but this one is mine
My rifle is my best friend
It is my life
I must master it as I must master my life

My rifle without me is useless
Without my rifle I am useless
I must fire my rifle true
I will
Before God I swear this creed
We are the masters of our enemy
We are the saviors of my life
So be it until there is no enemy but peace


My feet are heavy but I′m still kicking
Soldier songs take away my breathing
Know the truth but I'm not free

My heart is heavy but it′s still ticking
Soldier songs take away my feeling
Mama's tears are all I see

My feet are heavy but I′m still kicking
Soldier songs take away my breathing
Know the truth but I'm not free
My heart is heavy but it′s still ticking
Soldier songs take away my feeling
Mama's tears are all I see
