[Intro]This song here, is a very personal tune you knowThis song is about all the people that have passed away, the strugglesDoesn't matter where you're from, doesn't matter what side it would divideWhat side of the walls you're from, what country you're fromThis is a song about people that have let down their lives for what they see as a just causeWhether you agree or not, you know, just respect the lives that were lostAnd all the struggles and the troubles in the worldThis song is called here lies a soldier[Hook]Here lies a soldier of the coast, a soldier of the warsFrom underneath the ground he callsHere lies a soldier of the coast, a soldier of the warsFrom underneath the ground he calls[Verse 1]I don't know if i can do this anymoreI've been down this same road, many times beforeI'm having dreams, i'm gonna die before i'm twenty-fourYou will fall to my knees and pray god's gonna help meBecause 'world doesn't care about the poor only cares about the wealthyWe need to play are positions, we need to keep each other healthyAm i my brothers keeper ?Yes i am, i played the hand that was deityBecause i'm trapped in this mazeAnd i'm not talking of the prison my dad was in back in the daysI'm talking about me, my own personal ways'Been a victim of my own griefI've saw people die, witness, terrible murders up in these cold streetsToo many funerals, too many tearsDedicated to their families and to their pairs[Hook]Here lies a soldier of the coast, a soldier of the warsFrom underneath the ground he callsHere lies a soldier of the coast, a soldier of the warsFrom underneath the ground he calls[Verse 2]I've stood to too many funerals other the yearsDressed in black suits, and wearing new shoesBurying my pairs, staring deep down the grave underneath my tearsPeople die, people grow old, and people grow beardsAnd people cry because people don't know from where the evil appearsBut people try, is just the evil severe ?But no one seems to know the reason why we're hereEverybody's just walking round this giant spherePicking fights with each other and buying beerWatching television and dying of fearTerrorism's on the television, yet againPeople can't you see that we the people need to changePeople always like to blame the leaders but it's us, we're the people that we need to blameI believe in the cause, and i believe that we'll prevail, believe me[Hook]Here lies a soldier of the coast, a soldier of the warsFrom underneath the ground he callsHere lies a soldier of the coast, a soldier of the warsFrom underneath the ground he calls[Verse 3]The satarian violence in the silence was never silentBecause the tyrants divided the bible and lied to usAnd provided us with illness, the media continually riled usEveryday upon the TV screens they defiled usPromoting images that blind us"We're carried to this war" and left the people mindlessVigilantism rises, next thing kids are getting killed in drive-bysIs it ever gonna change when the propagande's amount applies itShould i get myself involved, no i don't advise itI wouldn't want to have a standing, read your grave and inscribe itHere lies a soldier, another victim of the troubles in Nothern IrelandJust another statistic, just another folderNowadays everybody's trying to pick the perfect pictureBut, nothing's over[Hook]Here lies a soldier of the coast, a soldier of the warsFrom underneath the ground he calls meHere lies a soldier of the coast, a soldier of the warsFrom underneath the grime he calls me[Outro]This song is dedicated to all the men that have laid down their livesAll the men that have suffered and died in the wars of mankindThis song is dedicated to the women, all the women that have sufferedAnd to the children, to the children that were starved and affected by the troublesJust want, just to take away a minuteRemember all the those that have passed awayAll the boys, all the ladies, all the kidsShow a bit of respect, you know
