Lyrics: Intervention

The king’s taken back the throne
The useless seed is sown
I tell ‘em we’re not home

No place to hide
You were fightin’ as a solider on their side
You’re still a soldier in your mind
Though nothin’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

Workin’ for the church while you 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 outta here
Don’t wanna fight, don’t wanna die
Just wanna hear you cry

Who’s gonna throw the very first stone?
Oh, who’s gonna reset the bone?
Walkin’ with your head in a sling
Wanna hear the soldier sing:

Been workin’ 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 outta hear
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 just say you were never hear

Workin’ for the church while your life falls apart
Singin’ “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"
