Intervention Lyrics - Neon Bible - Arcade Fire

The king's taken back the throne 

The useless seed is sown 

When they say they're cutting off the phone 

I tell 'em you're not home 

No place to hide 

You were fighting as a soldier on their side 

You're still a soldier in your mind 

Though nothing's on the line 

You say it's money that we need 

As if we're only mouths to feed 

I know no matter what you say 

There are some debts you'll never pay 

Working for the church while your family dies 

You take what they give you and you keep it inside 

Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home 

Hear the soldier groan, We'll go at it alone

I can taste the fear 

Lift me up and take me out of here 

Don't wanna fight, don't wanna die 

Just wanna hear you cry 

Who's going to throw the very first stone? 

Oh, who's going to reset the bone? 

Walking with your head in a sling 

Want to hear the soldiers sing 

"Been working for the church while my family dies 

Your little baby sister's gonna lose her mind 

Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home" 

Hear the soldier groan, We'll go at it alone 

I can taste your fear 

It's gonna lift you up and take you out of here 

And the bone shall never heal 

I care not if you kneel

We can't find you now 

But they're gonna get their money back somehow 

And when you finally disappear 

We'll say you were never here 

Been working for the church while your life falls apart 

Been singing hallelujah with the fear in your heart 

Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home 

Hear the soldier groan, We'll go at it alone 

Hear the soldier groan, We'll go at it alone
