The Soldier

from Demos 2014 by Perception Check

lyrics

Hey there soldier what's wrong with you; Your world's been split in two
Black and white have lost the fight; Grey consumes your view
The strength that's been asked of you, dwindles on every cue
Combat the light now it's out of sight; your will has changed its hue

Follow me when you give up
Trust in me and rise above

Oh I defy you from ending the fight
What have you done to deserve this right?

Hey there soldier that I once knew, what is that beckons you?
There's nothing left; Of hope, bereft; Oh what will you do?
Your choice, not a simple one, do you stay or do you run?
I don't know but I'd like to show a better path towards the sun

Lean on me when you are weak
We'll find the truth of what you seek

Oh why do you fall apart?
What will it take to mend your heart?

It's gone; It's done; Act like you're the only one
Deplete; Retreat; Find the file and hit delete
Cave in; Repent; Begin your last descent
Devolve; Absolve; You have found your own resolve

Behold all your sins and look at what they've wrought
Soldier, it is time to kneel to your god– NOW

What have you done?
Where are you now?

Take my hand we'll fall as one
Let me in; put down the gun
Follow me, we'll find the sun
Stay by me together we'll run

Oh, soldier, let's continue to fight
Oh, soldier, let's continue to fight
