about

Soldier by Death of the Maiden

lyrics

I'm going to war.
I don't need no weapons. I just need a cause.
'Cos I, I just want to fight; use my body, lose my mind.

But if I fought a war for you.
Would it hurt enough?
Would you want me to?
Give me something to endure.
Do you want me to die for you?
Is that what I'm fighting for?

Oh this war, that I'm all in for you.
It's full of infidels dressed up in good suits.
Drinking good wine and taking their time.
Singing their prayers as they fall from the light.
Oh, the value of losing your mind; makes a powerful soldier.
And I'm a powerful soldier.

But if I fought a war for you.
Would it hurt enough?
Give me something to endure.
Do you want me to die for you?
Is that what I'm fighting for?

Oh the value of losing your mind;
makes a powerful soldier.
And I'm a powerful soldier.
I'm a powerful soldier
