  Dead men lying on the bottom of their grave
  Wondering when Savior comes - is he gonna be saved?

  Maybe you're a sinner into your alternate life
  Maybe you're a joker, maybe you deserve to die

  They were crying when their sons left
  God is wearing black
  He's gone so far to find no hope
  He's never coming back

  They were crying when their sons left
  All young men must go
  He's come so far to find the truth
  He's never going home

  Young men standing on the top of their own graves
  Wondering when Jesus comes - are they gonna be saved?

  Cruelty to the winner, bishop tells the king his lies
  Maybe you're a mourner, maybe you deserve to die

  Welcome to the Soldier Side
  Where there's no one here but me
  People all grow up to die
  There's no one here but me
