Soldier Boy

I’ve been lost in a haze
Enticed by the devil’s ways
Been dancin’ to the beat of his drum
(Mmmmmmmmm)
I’ve been hidin’ from my loved ones
To shield them from blazin’ guns
You see, there’s been a civil war goin’ on in here

But I still hear the wailin’ of the beast from afar
I guess I’m never really out of reach
Always a tad ajar
But like I always do I keep my feet firm in the soil
Like a good soldier boy

Well, think you know me?
I’ve been playin’ fetch with the hounds of hell
Then left to dwell in a solitary cell
(Mmmmmmmmm)
Don’t be comin’ around here tellin’ me how to feel
‘Cause you don’t know what’s pretend and what is real out here

And I still hear the wailin’ of the beast from afar
I guess I’m never really out of reach
Always a tad ajar
But like I always do I keep my feet firm in the soil
Like a good soldier boy

I can’t sleep much anymore
There’s something lurkin’ outside the door
But I’ll be ready to face what’s in store for me

‘Cause I still hear the wailin’ of the beast from afar
I guess I’m never really out of reach
Always a tad ajar
But like I always do I keep my feet firm in the soil

And I still hear the wailin’ of the beast from afar
I guess I’m never really out of reach
Always a tad ajar
But like I always do I keep my feet firm in the soil yeah
Hear the wailin’ of the beast from afar
I guess I’m never really out of reach
Always a tad ajar
But like I always do I keep my feet firm in the soil
Like a good soldier boy
(Mmmmmmmmm)
Like a good soldier boy

Hear the wailin’ of the beast from afar
I guess I’m never really out of reach
Always a tad ajar
But like I always do I keep my feet firm in the soil
