…[Verse 1]
Can't you see the soldiers
I seen them marching
Whole lotta soldiers
I seen them marching
I seen tin soldiers, I hear…
…in Ohio
Four dead in Ohio
Four dead in Ohio (Yah!)
[Verse 2]
Soldiers, I hear them marching
Soldiers, I hear them marching
Soldiers, I…
…in Ohio
[Verse 3]
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down, Lord
Should have been done long ago
What if you knew her
And…

Warfare the only solution for your stupid problems
Soldiers marching out for your revolution
Killing and burning, destroying…
…overturning
You got the license to hate
All the others are cowards
You believe they got no power
stealing what they own
Making all…
Just make it all yourself
Mothers crying over losing their sons
Ripping out their heart for worthless gold
World of war
We know…

Last night I was dreaming of days that are gone
Of days that you might recall
And just like a photoplay upon my wall
Once more I…
…of the Big Parade
I saw angels fair with the Red Cross there
In my dream of the Big Parade
I saw Gold Star Mothers, sisters and…
Millions of doughboys landing in Brest
Marching, marching, never a rest
Millions of bullets thundering past
Millions of bodies, wounded and…

…hands up high and scream for justice
Ferguson, rest in peace Mike Brown
And all the young soldiers out there
God help us
Time to take a stand and…
I'm on my way to Ferguson
Talked to TIP, I talked to Diddy, them my brothers walking with me
Mothers crying "Stop the riots", we…
…else am supposed to do? (Rest in peace to Mike Brown)
Where does it end? (And all the other fallen soldiers)
Tell me, where's…

…the torment of the fire
As we keep our hands up high and scream for justice
Ferguson, rest in peace Mike Brown and all the young soldiers out there
God help us…
…of them killing us, I'm on my way to Ferguson
Talked to Tip, I talked to Diddy, them my brothers walking with me
Mothers cryin…
…does it end?
(And all the other fallen soldiers)
Tell me, where's the love for everything we're going through…

Hey, it's dying season
Bodies dropping in an endless grave
Promise, promise broken
Liver are lost, dissolved in vain
War, war and…
…of disdain
Stepping stones melt into flames
Ancient methods historically stained
Soldiers marching onward into dust
Cradle the crying…
…into flames
Ancient methods historically stained
Soldiers marching onward into dust
Cradle the crying, extol the dying
Bloodshed…

…(Verse)
We are Your salvation army
Laying down our weapons
Marching into battle Scarred and broken
We are Your kingdom…
…not an empire
Burning with Your fire
We were born to love and to war
(Chorus)
Onward Christian soldiers
We're laying down our lives
We're…
…will stand forever
We were born to love and
to war
(Chorus)
Onward Christian soldiers
We're laying down our lives
We're lifting Jesus…

Satan Calling
Angels falling
Supersonic raven cawing
Paint by numbers
Pull the string
Soldiers marching…
…on
Demagogs of demolition
Sorcerers and men of vision
Paint by numbers
Pull the string
Soldiers marching on
Angel carry guns
Oh, angels carry guns…
The dogs will count their days
Saints and serpents
Demons, angels
Gods and Devils
Paint by numbers
Pull the string
Soldiers marching…

…with me
Mothers crying "Stop the riots", we ain't got to chalk the city
I seen Cole out there, felt I should go out…
…supposed to do?
(Rest in peace to Mike Brown)
Where does it end?
(And all the other fallen soldiers)
Tell me, where's…
…you preach peace to a family that just lost they own?
My brodie Game just banged my line like "We gotta do something"
All that marching and…

…be done?
To break this rhythm silence
And the sorrow turns to pain
In the sound of falling rain
Do you see the children laughing?
Do you feel the mothers…
…crying?
Do you hear the music playing?
And dance with the butterfly
Do you feel the cold rain falling?
What have you done…
…to pain
In the sound of falling rain
Can you see the children laughing?
Can you feel the mothers crying?
Can you hear the music playing?
And…

So extroadinare, it make you stop and stare
I love the one you are
Both eyes is lasers, Smoke live with the mayor
Feel…
…the Rapture, the mysterious here and after
Locked up, doing time, and we just don't care
Revenge is so splendid, show 'em we nuttin to contend with
Failure or success and…
…a prayer
Listenin to clocks, tick, tick, tick
And vanish into thin air
Deuce: Hey mami, I wanna holla
Every time them soldiers…

…or hesitating
The time to sail is here
Bye-bye mothers and all the others
Who'll come to shed a little tear
Don't cry
Bye-bye
Give us a parting cheer
[Refrain…
…be there
Goodbye
[2nd verse:]
Old Hoboken is bent and broken
From soldiers marching on her pier
While you slumber, a great big number
Of soldiers…
…disappear
To the millions of brave civilians
That we are leaving over here
We say
Day day
Give us a parting cheer…

As we go marching, marching in the beauty of the day
A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill lofts grey
Are…
…touched with all the radiance that a sudden sun discloses
For the people hear us singing, bread and roses, bread and roses
As we go marching…
…marching we battle too for men
For they are women's children let the mothers speak again
Our lives shall not be sweated from birth…

…was sitting eating porridge when the soldiers come
To tell his aging mum she had outlived her oldest son
And now she wept…
…their sleepy eyes focused on the world outside
Overlooking power struggles that are here inside
And constantly remain in self denial…
…as their world divides
Now Patrick visits dad at the cemetery
Who was killed as he was marching through the town of Derry
And…

Nah, Ill Bill's the fuckin' name, don't wear it out
I grab you by your fuckin' throat then I tear it out
My whereabouts are…
…rockin'[?], see you on my [?]
Bring your bloody mess
Make a nigga blister[?] from his paranoia
Rob your mothers, now I sent…
…dismiss the liquid that's yellow
In the backside of each cunt I'll be arching
I'm like a soldier back from the Dead Storm trooping and marching
Here's…
