Fighting for something I believed was right
Something I was willing to die for
I wouldn't give up whether dark or light
I stood there a soldier

Until I found out that nothing was true
The whole thing a lie
This thing I believed in through and through
That I would've put down my life

It tore me apart left me shredded in wait
For a death to come sweep me away
But I picked up my head and followed a fate
That would leave me here to stay

It was hard at first
But sorely I moved on
It could've been worse
Every dusk and dawn

But a soldier fights even if the orders change
Even if it seems impossible
Even if you lost your way
And I'm a soldier through and through
To the bone and I made it too
