Toy Soldier

Stand against the sky

Force reasons to die

Till boots come untied

You'll try to believe his lie

Built beyond the archetype

Trick yourself into the fight

The soot and gun hide the night

Convince yourself that it's right

Master warhead puppetry

Undeserving idolatry

Inner circle loyalty

Make them flee their own country

Boy of the surge

Compliance won't make you a man

Now you've deciphered

The secret written in the sand

Now you understand

What rests in your hands

Clear and hold the land

By killing another man

Whose safety do you fight for?

Admit that you can't ignore

You don't trust those keeping score

Write letters to reassure

Gunshot rationality

Just a casual casualty

Just part of the strategy

But you're not setting them free

Sing of fires Sing of will

Sing to justify to kill
