Tuning: Standard

                  
King's taken back the throne
The people learn and they all grow
And choose what they want written on their stone
             
All quiet and alone

You can taste the fear
Lift me up and take me out of here
I know I want to fight I want to die
Just tell me what to say

                                          
Working for the church while your family dies
Little baby sister gonna lose her mind
                                               
Every spark of friendship and love will die without a hope
                
Hear the soldiers groan
                   
All quiet and alone

There's something in the air
The people they all sit and stare
And tell me what they point to tell me where
And tell me...

Who's gonna throw the very first stone?
Who's gonna re-set the bone?
Sitting with his head in a sling
I hear the soldier sing

Working for the church while your family dies
Little baby sister gonna lose her mind
Every spark of friendship and love will die without a hope
Hear the soldiers groan
All quiet and alone

            
Shine, shine a light
Some day you can teach me how to fight
                                                             
And honour something for which I would die, but I just don't know what

You know I can taste the fear
Lift me up and take me out of here
And make it all concisely clear
You know I'm gonna fade

                                          
Working for the church while your family dies
Little baby sister gonna lose her mind
                                               
Every spark of friendship and love will die without a hope

                
Hear the soldiers groan
             
All quiet and alone
Hear the soldiers groan
All quiet and alone
