God wants you in service to him
so leave your family behind
you suit up for war
and strap this gun to your side
go in his good name
use your faith as your shield
fight for your belief
that your God is the truth
never question all he asks of you
those tears in your daughter's eyes
wide as the sky and just as blue
"Daddy don't go, don't leave, don't die"
"Don't worry your head dear, I've got God on my side
I'm not gone for long, oh how those heathens will fall"
you take to the fight
the enemy is rife with sin
they push on and on
demons drive them from within
they come far too strong
good men fall under his eye
"what are our deaths for?
where are you?" you scream at the stars
you never questioned all he asks of you
you remember your daughter's eyes
those last words you said, now they're haunting you
"Daddy don't go, don't leave, don't die"
"Don't worry your head dear, I've got God on my side
I'm not gone for long, oh how those heathens will fall"
"Daddy don't go, don't leave, don't die"
the last thing she spoke as you left her side
your men are all falling and you're scared as hell
so you grab your gun, leave God's fight behind
you grab it, turn your back and run

you leave those dead men and God behind
your fear engulfed you, and you took flight
you saw no savior
in war in his name
just pointless death
now where are you going to go?
you coward, too scared to fight
but you can't go home
you're broken he left you
to die in his name
you curse yourself
now where are you going to go?
you've lost the will to fight
and you're too shamed to go home
now where are you going to go?
God's left you, he was never with you
you've no place to call home
now where are you going to go?
a year gone
a year lost because you're too afraid to go home
as the sun is rising
just as it does each day
you miss them more and slowly find you were headed the wrong way
God has never left you
you left them behind
and they've been waiting for you, praying you would give some kind of sign
well it's time to wake up
and walk on down that road
well it's time to wake up

so he stands up
wipes the crust from his eyes
a haggard shell of the man they once loved
the man that left them
with feet like lead
he drags himself out
out from this mess
away from this life
still scared and broken
the tears; they stream
but just so faintly
he hears the angels scream
"go home"
