The king's taken back the throneThe useless seed is sownWhen they say they're cutting off the phoneI tell 'em you're not home No place to hideYou were fighting as a soldier on their sideYou're still a soldier in your mindThough nothing's on the line You say it's money that we needAs if we're only mouths to feedI know no matter what you sayThere are some debts you'll never pay Working for the churchwhile your family diesYou take what they give youand you keep it insideEvery spark of friendship and lovewill die without a homeHear the soldier groan, "we'll go at it alone" I can taste the fearLift me up and take me out of hereDon't wanna fight, don't wanna dieJust wanna hear you cry Who's going to throw the very first stone?Oh, who's going to reset the bone?Walking with your head in a slingWant to hear the soldiers sing "Been working for the churchwhile my family diesYour little baby sister's gonna lose her mindEvery spark of friendship and lovewill die without a home"Hear the soldier groan, "we'll go at it alone" I can taste your fearIt's gonna lift you up and take you out of hereAnd the bone shall never heal;I care not if you kneel We can't find you nowBut they're gonna get theirmoney back somehowAnd when you finally disappearWe'll just say you were never here Been working for the church whileyour life falls apartBeen singin' hallelujah with the fear in your heartEvery spark of friendship and lovewill die without a homeHear the soldier groan, "we'll go at it alone"Hear the soldier groan, "we'll go at it alone"

I heard the voiceCalling from just outside the wellShe said "You fool, now thatyou know your end is near;You always fallFor what you desireor what you fear!"

My body is a cageThat keeps me from dancing with the one I loveBut my mind holds the key My body is a cageThat keeps me from dancing with the one I loveBut my mind holds the key I'm standing on a stageOf fear and self-doubtIt's a hollow playBut they'll clap anyway My body is a cageThat keeps me from dancing with the one I loveBut my mind holds the key You're standing next to meMy mind holds the key I'm living in an ageThat calls darkness lightThough my language is deadStill the shapes fill my head I'm living in an ageWhose name I don't knowThough the fear keeps me movingStill my heart beats so slow My body is a cageThat keeps me from dancing with the one I loveBut my mind holds the key You're standing next to meMy mind holds the keyMy body is a... My body is a cageWe take what we're givenJust because you've forgottenThat don't mean you're forgiven I'm living in an age thatScreams my name at nightBut when I get to the doorwayThere's no one in sight I'm living in an ageThey laugh when I'm dancing with the one I loveBut my mind holds the key You're standing next to meMy mind holds the key Set my spirit freeSet my spirit freeSet my body freeSet my body free Set my spirit freeSet my body free

And if the snowBuries myMy neighborhood And if my parents are cryingThen I'll dig a tunnelFrom my window to yoursYeah, a tunnelFrom my window to yours You climb out the chimneyAnd meet me in the middleThe middle of the town And since there's no one else aroundWe let our hair grow longAnd forget all we used to knowThen our skin gets thickerFrom living out in the snow You change all the leadSleepin' in my headAs the day grows dimI hear you sing a golden hymn Then we tried to name our babiesBut we forgot all the names thatThe names we used to know But sometimes we remember our bedroomsAnd our parents' bedroomsAnd the bedrooms of our friendsThen we think of our parentsWell, what ever happened to them? You change all the leadSleeping in my head to goldAs the day grows dimI hear you sing a golden hymnIt's the song I've been trying to say Purify the colorsPurify my mindPurify the colorsPurify my mind And spread the ashes of the colorsOver this heart of mine
