Intervention

Lyrics

The king's taken back the throne
 The useless seed is sown
 When they say they're cutting off the phone
 I 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
 Though nothing's on the line
 You say it's money that we need
 As if we're 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 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
 Just wanna hear you cry
 Who's going to throw the very first stone?
 Oh, who's going to reset the bone?
 Walking with your head in a sling
 Want to hear the soldiers 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 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 go at it alone
 Hear the soldier groan, We'll go at it alone
