e william nutter - The Soldier Lyrics

He stood his ground there on the frontlines
The shadow of wars ahead would all unfold
He shared scars from the battles all around us
And here in the trenches, he's so cold. So cold
He thinks
The strangers come from beyond the horizon
Bringing fear and always that same why; oh why
And he's haunted by the ghosts of his past friends fallen
Remember before when we could see the skies
Now we're fighting for our lives
Like he's been dying this whole time
Oh, he feels he's seen the flames
And felt that searing pain
And in his eyes there are no tears
And now he'll fight to keep it all the same
And he'll lose himself one day
He'll say it was worth it, but it appears
He'll be another soldier's name
In a soldier's grave
And through the crowds and through all the broken lines
He was ordered here to hold this landing place
Seeing a face shocked with all this madness
Faces blur as he runs moves past them
All this fueled by hate
He sinks
And seeing monsters alive and ahead of him
His ears ring, he does not hear a single thing
And in his side a sharp pain
In his mind the repeating voice of a liar
He'll soldier on, take aim and open fire
He'll take aim, he'll take aim, and open fire
Oh, he feels he's seen the flames
And felt that searing pain
And in his eyes there are no tears
And now he'll fight to keep it all the same
And he'll lose himself one day, he'll say it was worth it
But it appears he'll be another soldier's name
In a soldier's grave
