Soldier Songtext
von Matt Rupp

I′m walking down a directionless street
I have nothing but pain in my feet
There's an explosion over there
It′s time to hide away from the enemy

I'm a soldier
A soldier at seventeen
You told me I'd be safe
But from every point of view
I′m a soldier
The sacrificial lamb
Instead of making things safer
You add the danger
Soldier

I′m running away to a higher place
At least from up there the gun won't reach me
But when the bombs are dropped
I need to get to the ground


I′m a soldier
A soldier at seventeen
You told me I'd be away from the pain
But everything is pain
I′m a soldier
The pawn in your game
Let's climb the tower
And kill the generals
I′m a soldier

And when the bombs have stopped
And everything in is quiet for now
I know within a week I'll be thrown into the crosshairs of death
But for now let's take a deep breath in and-
BOOM
You will never be safe from the eternal plague
Take all of the measures you′ll never be saved
Cause your our victim
Our prey

I′m your soldier
A soldier at seventeen
When I try to take the highroad
You bring me to the lowest one
I'm a soldier
Living and dying for your cause
I have a loaded gun
And a stronghold of two
We′re your soldiers!
Let us free!
