Soldier

Strap it to my shoulder
0300 walk the town
In what would be the perfect night to watch the sky
We keep our focus on the ground
The quiet rocks us like a cradle
That's when they'll take you every time

And you will be the thunder raging
And I will be the lightning comin down
And if they come to take this soldier tonight
We will tear it down

Sometimes this place reminds me
Of things I used to call my own
I watch families gather for a meal
Like in my little town back home
At night it's twisted with a haunting
Could turn to ashes anytime

And you will be the thunder raging
And I will be the lightning comin down
And if they come to take this soldier tonight
We will tear it down

And outside in the darkness someone's cursing
Every second we survive

And you will be the thunder raging
And I will be the lightning comin down
And if they come to take this soldier tonight
We will tear it down
