Intervention

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
