From the pit of decadent society An inner revolution has fomented The heart and mind awaken within In defiance of what's without Conditioned from birth to accept The most heinous forms of barbarism and cruelty Invert your morals, spit on your laws, trample your democracy Restoring dignity to every sentient creature My heart and mind have been Swept clean of lies And now I know what I must do To justify my existence We march like good soldiers do We are the Soldiers Of Life No one taught us of our obligation To our ancestors or our progeny Nor of the sacredness of all life We were given freedom But it wasn't tempered with wisdom Now here we lie and writhe in the karma of our crimes We pick up our broken lives Head into battle with guns and knives Counter-balancing our crimes washes the blood off our hands I will pass the Gateway Arch Plunge head first into my destiny The Universe opens up and welcomes her good soldier home My soul is broken From what I have done And now I know what I must do To justify my existence We march like good soldiers do We are the Soldiers Of Life Soldiers Of Life Soldiers Of Life
