Civil Twilight - Soldier Lyrics
I take aim from the kitchen window
I take aim from up and down below
I take aim from the tree in your backyard
I fall asleep, but I'm always on guard
I take those shots, but I'm not guilty
I'm just a soldier in another war
It doesn't matter who I'm guilty for
I don't stop 'til the end of the show
I don't stop 'til my country says so
I don't know why I raise this hell
I'm just a soldier, fighting for someone else
I got a big ol' family
I cleanse my sins as I walk through that door
It doesn't matter who I'm guilty for
I don't stop 'til the mission is done
I don't stop 'til they tell me I've won
I don't know why I waged this war
I'm just a soldier in it for one more
My family, they cover me
My family, they cover me
Everything I see is what I believe
I am not guilty, no, I am not guilty
I am not guilty, I am not, yeah
I don't stop, not even in my dreams
I don't stop seeing things that I've seen
I don't know why I raise this hell
I'm just a soldier fighting for someone else, whoa
I'm just a soldier, yeah, I'm just a soldier, soldier, soldier
Don't take it so personally, yeah
I'm just a soldier, I'm just a soldier, soldier, soldier

Civil Twilight Soldier Comments
This gives me MAJOR early U2 vibes. I love it!!!
If they made Armada by Ernest Cline into a film, this should be included in it.
Drummer is a beast
This is so good.
I love this group so amazing
es un buen rok y como grupo bueno sobre todo el tema de la película
Easily one of my fav songs for this band! So underrated.... <3 Civil Twilight
my gosh, the lead singer looks a little like rob patz from.... TWILIGHT.
Shut up
As in he LOOKS like him… or as in the shots are framed so that he looks similar enough -- because, indeed, the lighting in the close-ups does make his face look like it has roughly the same shape...
Holy crap he really does.
I absolutely love the lyrics to this song
I love the song hate the lyrics...
but they help support the best band in the world!
Fucking hate those commercials!!
My goodness!!! they are fucking awesome!!!
It's like I went to heaven for 3 minutes and 21 seconds.
would love to hear mad world done by this band !!!
Civil twilight 4 life awesome song
Totally, tho I already knew about them.
Banshee
They really remind me of The Police in this song. Good band.. correction, Awesome band :)
I KNOW, right? XD
Goosebumps... these guys are talented
Goin to see them with bush in Atlanta its going to be awsome and u guys r right they do have a little cold play sound and radio head sound and muse
Coldplay's cooler, lesser known older brother.
The one that occasionally hangs out with Muse.
I thought of it as like a mix of coldplay and u2
They like the police
me tooo!
Going to see them with mutemath this Saturday :D
I hear Coldplay and Radiohead,too. That is a compliment.
unfair assessment mate. The yanks still have many obscure bands that are really good, its just people dont really care to search for good music. The market at the time is so overcrowded, that commercial music is given priority in many cases .Certainly wont find it in the charts. Why do we wish to be spoonfed??
civil TWILIGHT, you know... :)
Alice in chains, Pearl jam, Red hot chili peppers, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Metallica....and many more.
amazing i just found this band and i already love it
Very cool...
Mon ordinateur aime tellement cette musique qu'il l'a rejouer sans que je lui ai demandé x)
that dude looks exactly like rob pattinson
For some reason, this song makes me think of U2 and AC/DC at the same time.
O hai mr eyebrow
what about Muse?
hey, it's that vampire guy from that movie
Before moving to the US they were known as "Superfine" and then they changed their name to "The View", but I can't remember the name of their album. When they moved to the US there were name complications due to a well known series named "The View", so they changed their name to Civil Twilight. I guess you can just search for the stuff they did in South Africa :)
They've been around for quite some years now, they are not a 'new' band, they also did some good stuff before being more well known in year 2007+.
seriously can't wait for "holy weather" to come out! preordered the album and i've been looking forward to it for a while!
no. just, no.
@muddsuck you took the words right from my finger tips !
A band that can be atmospheric and moody...and still rock HARD = sonic gold.
Dear Coldplay and Radiohead,
It's just no good anymore.
The same stuff over and over again?
That's why I leaving you.
Goodbye.
These guys are so sick live. Its just amazing to watch them perform their craft so well and with such intensity. I can't wait for the new album to drop in March. been listening to a couple teasers off their facebook page. A tour best be following the release!
The lead singer kinda reminds me of Edward from twilight c:
Pre-order Civil Twilight's new album Holy Weather on iTunes and get Fire Escape as the instant grat track and 3 special bonus tracks only available to pre-orders! It's just enough to get you through until the album comes out next month!
lead singer is so cute! reminds me of jude law in a way lol
@Shadowcorporation
and every rock song ever made post '61 is a direct rip off off the beatles
who cares enjoy and shut the fuck up with the hating
@Shadowcorporation
wtf are you talking about
@honeybadger815
definitely Bono if he sounds like ANYONE...similarities to the fray and coldplay, but THEY sound like Bono as well, sooooo, nuff said
Great band but so underrated.
@ohwatermelonninja
... No. Just no.
@SBandstraProductions sign me up sir!
Does anyone know what kind pickups the guitarist is using??!!
I was looking at the lead singer and guitarist and thinking, "Woah, they totally look like brothers."
Turns out they actually are! XD
SO BLOODY GOOD
I LOVE this band, and I just find it funny how every says he looks EXACTLY like Robert Pattinson. IN a way, he totally does.
isn't it ironic how the lead singer bears a striking resemblance to Edward Cullen?? LoL [no wonder they're called Civil Twilight]
AmaZing BaNd ♥
@muddsuck - Yes, u are right, i like it.
love this fucking song
Woot! I'm gonna see them play on the 23rd! Can not wait!
this band is amazing!
If I don't look at the video, this is a good song.
a power trio. a singer with a distinct voice who plays bass and piano. playing good rock n' roll in a pop format. catchy songs. i do declare that 'civil twilight' are the new 'the police'. and there is nothing wrong with that.
Bro looks like Edward Cullen....
@juniwilliams i saw it and heard it of course but i was just wondering whether he is the one who sings plays the bass and piano................that one is cool.......
@AdamThePirateSS3 Steven McKellar, lead singer, does vocals, bass, keyboards/piano. Cant you hear the bass? he's also holding it. Its funny, i went to school with this geezer years back in South Africa. He was 4 years ahead of me. I remember sitting in assembly when he was a row in front of me. Didn't know he got so much fame until a mate of mine played this song in his car.
@like2iceskate123
do they have a bass???
love letters in sky but this song just destroid it this song rocks!!!!!
i never get tired of this song, i could listen to it all day.
They give the best hugs ever. Love them <3
GREAT SONG. :D
i wonder if they need a 4th player who just stands there and jams out up there with them?
@JessicaRocks3 im not going to repeat my self. read back through the comments to figure it out.
@kreeaytor Why does it matter who is hotter than who? That's not what bands are about. It's about the music.
@Silkenkilly Why so mean?
@MegaTransparent Lol, Obviously someone is really upset ...Lol ...like i said I DONT KNOW U ..I've listen 2 half of those artist u listed, like Flyleaf&i love Muse.i listen & enjoy many different genres of music.A lot of J-Pop and J-Rock.Ayumi Hamasaki, Koda Kumi, Utada Hikaru, Olivia Lufkin...etc... and J-Rock --> Maximum The Hormone & Nightmare ...I listen to Sade (Jazz) --Florence and the Machine <-I love her (Indie Pop)...Lykke Li ..I listen to a lot of INDIE but i listen to everything else
@LyricallyFree21 Your comment is what is saying that you apparently know me. Your telling me that i only listen to catchy mainstream just cause i think Robert Pattinson singing is bad. First of all, those artist aren't pop. Flyleaf, Breaking Benjamin isn't pop. MBLAQ is K-pop which is much different from America's pop. I actually expand my knowledge to other countries instead of listening to Kesha or Katy Perry. Second, I hate MTV. So shut up, cause your being immature.
@MegaTransparent No one is saying they know u, first off and from ur listing u listen to basically the same genre...Soooo
@LyricallyFree21 So please don't tell me that i need to expand my music knowledge when you don't even know me.
@LyricallyFree21 Please don't assume that you know me. Because I'm the only one in my school that listens to something other than pop, hip hop and rap. I listen to music base on lyrics and the sound.
A list of artist i listen to? Half of them you probably haven't even heard of.
The Saturdays
The Wanted
Zaho
Civil Twilight
Muse
Lily Allen
St. Lola and the Field
Breaking Benjamin
Flyleaf
2am Club
One Republic
MBLAQ & many many more. I actually listen to music from outside of my country.
@MegaTransparent so apparently ur sucked into Pop Modern Culture and do not know music! Thats really sad cuz i love all music and its sad that people dont look beyond MTV for good music....expand ur Music Knowledge...I know music as being meaningful and passionate and soulful....instead of catchy mainstream that u obviously ONLY listen too....smh
(List me the artist u listen too)
@LyricallyFree21 I'm pretty much telling you, Robert Pattinson's singing is horrible.
@MegaTransparent So ur telling me ur ears dont work when he's singing "Never Think"?
@LyricallyFree21 He can't even sing like this. When Robert sings, you hardly understand what he's saying.
i love trios...this is my new favorite,,,they deserve it
@afoxe1 He doesnt even sing this kind of music...his music is kind of bluesy and heartfelt ...i dont know the particular genre
@shadowbunnyx Robert Pattinson is an incredible artist, he doesnt even need a band he can go solo....and dont be bias cuz he does Twilight
@kevinhuddle This is the comment that should be getting that 29 thumbs up. I couldn't agree more.
For the record, if Robert Pattinsonstarted a band it would be shit. This is real music and a good band. Don't judge on his similarities to him.

this is what would happen if Robert Pattinson got a hair cut and started a rock band. :)
