[Intro]
This song here, is a very personal tune you know
This song is about all the people that have pa**ed away, the struggles
Doesn't matter where you're from, doesn't matter what side it would divide
What side of the walls you're from, what country you're from
This is a song about people that have let down their lives for what they see as a just cause
Whether you agree or not, you know, just respect the lives that were lost
And all the struggles and the troubles in the world
This song is called here lies a soldier
[Hook]
Here lies a soldier of the coast, a soldier of the wars
From underneath the ground he calls
Here lies a soldier of the coast, a soldier of the wars
From underneath the ground he calls
[Verse 1]
I don't know if i can do this anymore
I've been down this same road, many times before
I'm having dreams, i'm gonna die before i'm twenty-four
You will fall to my knees and pray god's gonna help me
Because 'world doesn't care about the poor only cares about the wealthy
We need to play are positions, we need to keep each other healthy
Am i my brothers keeper ?
Yes i am, i played the hand that was deity
Because i'm trapped in this maze
And i'm not talking of the prison my dad was in back in the days
I'm talking about me, my own personal ways
'Been a victim of my own grief
I've saw people die, witness, terrible murders up in these cold streets
Too many funerals, too many tears
Dedicated to their families and to their pairs
[Hook]
Here lies a soldier of the coast, a soldier of the wars
From underneath the ground he calls
Here lies a soldier of the coast, a soldier of the wars
From underneath the ground he calls
[Verse 2]
I've stood to too many funerals other the years
Dressed in black suits, and wearing new shoes
Burying my pairs, staring deep down the grave underneath my tears
People die, people grow old, and people grow beards
And people cry because people don't know from where the evil appears
But people try, is just the evil severe ?
But no one seems to know the reason why we're here
Everybody's just walking round this giant sphere
Picking fights with each other and buying beer
Watching television and dying of fear
Terrorism's on the television, yet again
People can't you see that we the people need to change
People always like to blame the leaders but it's us, we're the people that we need to blame
I believe in the cause, and i believe that we'll prevail, believe me
[Hook]
Here lies a soldier of the coast, a soldier of the wars
From underneath the ground he calls
Here lies a soldier of the coast, a soldier of the wars
From underneath the ground he calls
[Verse 3]
The satarian violence in the silence was never silent
Because the tyrants divided the bible and lied to us
And provided us with illness, the media continually riled us
Everyday upon the TV screens they defiled us
Promoting images that blind us
"We're carried to this war" and left the people mindless
Vigilantism rises, next thing kids are getting k**ed in drive-bys
Is it ever gonna change when the propagande's amount applies it
Should i get myself involved, no i don't advise it
I wouldn't want to have a standing, read your grave and inscribe it
Here lies a soldier, another victim of the troubles in Nothern Ireland
Just another statistic, just another folder
Nowadays everybody's trying to pick the perfect picture
But, nothing's over
[Hook]
Here lies a soldier of the coast, a soldier of the wars
From underneath the ground he calls me
Here lies a soldier of the coast, a soldier of the wars
From underneath the grime he calls me
[Outro]
This song is dedicated to all the men that have laid down their lives
All the men that have suffered and died in the wars of mankind
This song is dedicated to the women, all the women that have suffered
And to the children, to the children that were starved and affected by the troubles
Just want, just to take away a minute
Remember all the those that have pa**ed away
All the boys, all the ladies, all the kids
Show a bit of respect, you know
