Soldiers

(album: Smoke & Mirrors - 2017)

This injustice, I cannot just let go
The world's becoming something I do not know
Where is the honor and the pride that bound us all
From the inside out we crumble and fall
We bled and died just to give them protection
But in the end we were faced with rejection
Scattered, divided like a fallen house of cards
I fight on, old habits die hard

Look around, the world is burning
Look inside, can you feel that yearning
To be a fighter and to right these wrongs somehow
Evil walks among us and we're not supposed to do a thing
If we don't stand up then what will the future bring
Like it or not, we must right these wrongs somehow
We are all soldiers now

I refuse to go quietly into the night
I'm locking on and now I've got you in my sights
Try to take me down, you'll never get near me
But if you're innocent, you'll never need to fear me
I'm still watching over anyone defenseless
Call me a cynic but I know this war is endless
We're gearing up and down to go one last time
Now we regroup and return to the front line

Look around, the world is burning
Look inside, can you feel that yearning
To be a fighter and to right these wrongs somehow
Evil walks among us and we're not supposed to do a thing
If we don't stand up then what will the future bring
Like it or not, we must right these wrongs somehow
We are all soldiers now

I am not a young man anymore
I question every day
What it is we're fighting for
I am not a young man anymore
I pray that I can live one day
The way I did before

Look around, the world is burning
Look inside, can you feel that yearning
To be a fighter and to right these wrongs somehow
I must right these wrongs somehow
Evil walks among us and we're not supposed to do a thing
If we don't stand up then what will the future bring
Like it or not, we must right these wrongs somehow
We are all soldiers now
