Lyrics:

Soldiers Of Life

From the pit of decadent society
An inner revolution has fomented
The heart and mind awaken within
In defiance of what's without
Conditioned from birth to accept
The most heinous forms of barbarism and cruelty
Invert your morals, spit on your laws, trample your democracy
Restoring dignity to every sentient creature

My heart and mind have been
Swept clean of lies
And now I know what I must do
To justify my existence
We march like good soldiers do
We are the Soldiers Of Life

No one taught us of our obligation
To our ancestors or our progeny
Nor of the sacredness of all life
We were given freedom
But it wasn't tempered with wisdom
Now here we lie and writhe in the karma of our crimes

We pick up our broken lives
Head into battle with guns and knives
Counter-balancing our crimes washes the blood off our hands
I will pass the Gateway Arch
Plunge head first into my destiny
The Universe opens up and welcomes her good soldier home

My soul is broken
From what I have done
And now I know what I must do
To justify my existence
We march like good soldiers do
We are the Soldiers Of Life

Soldiers Of Life
