The Soldier Stood Alone

Lyrics

Metal on back, he walks in silence, silenceA brassy voice subdued with fear, with fearFlashing up like red, they stare like photos, insteadA camera clicks once and then a video [Verse 2] Tribal markings, a panorama of icons, iconsThe streets are bursting at the seams, it seemsA face in the crowd of demonstrators that goes aroundA violent world and riot police on feet and wheels [Chorus] And the soldier stood alone, he stood alone for all to seeAnd the soldier stood alone, he stood aloneAnd the soldier stood alone, he stood alone for all to seeAnd the soldier stood alone, he stood alone [Verse 3] His anger is there for many to see, to seeHey, you out there, listen to me, to meLeave them alone and then they'll go homeMaybe they'll see his face on the TVA hero now, his victory [Chorus] And the soldier stood alone, he stood alone for all to seeAnd the soldier stood alone, he stood aloneAnd the soldier stood alone, he stood alone for all to seeAnd the soldier stood alone, he stood alone [Bridge] He stood alone He stood alone He stood alone He stood alone (Just another poor soldier of another day) He stood alone He stood alone (His memories burning a hole right down to his soul) He stood alone He stood alone (I don't understand all the hate he has gone through, yeah) He stood alone He stood alone (He has the right to resist) He stood alone [Chorus] And the soldier stood alone, he stood alone for all to seeAnd the soldier stood alone, he stood aloneAnd the soldier stood alone, he stood alone for all to seeAnd the soldier stood alone, he stood alone [Outro] He stood alone He stood alone He stood alone He stood alone He stood alone He stood alone He stood alone (He stood alone) He stood alone (Alone, alone)
