[Not your Soldier] [By Zivo ft. The Pale Architekt] [© 2026. All Rights Reserved.] Written Lyrics, Song, Concept: Zivo Lyrics, Concept, Music & Instruments & Production: The Pale Architekt [Intro] Another morning, another screen glowing, messages telling me what I should believe. So many words filling the screen... but somehow nobody resists anymore. --- I see people drawing lines in places where there used to be conversations. Turning every difference into a battle, While politicians herd the cattle. You can be right and still be wrong. you still lose the person standing in front of you. Somewhere between all these voices, we forgot what we were trying to protect. --- All these promises... all these warnings... all these hands pointing somewhere else. --- ALL THE NOISE... (short pause) ALL THE LINES... ALL THE EEEEEMPTY WORDS... DRAWING BORDERS IN YOUR MINDS! YOU BUILD... (the voice rises) THE WALLS! THEN BLAME THE OTHER SIDE! YOU... corrupt... THE... Soldiers... NOW WATCH THEM... DIE!!! YOU... corrupt... THE... Soldiers... NOW WATCH THEM... DIE!!! --- I don't need another stranger telling me who I am. I don't need borrowed anger to feel like I belong. I have my own doubts. I have my own scars. And you want me for your wars... --- Maybe you forgot... that people are not just resources. Maybe we forgot… that fighting needs no forces. Sadly somewhere under all this noise… there's still humanity that greed destroys. --- I AM NOT YOUR SOLDIER! I AM NOT YOUR TARGET! I AM NOT YOUR ENEMY! (short silence) I'M JUST A PERSON... TRYING TO SURVIIIIIIIIIVE! --- [Final chorus - full power] ALL THE NOISE... ALL THE LINES... ALL THE EMPTY WORDS... YOU BUILD THE WALLS... YOU CORRUPT THE SOLDIERS... BUT WE WON'T LET YOU TAKE EVERYTHING! --- [Outro] Turn down the noise. Or fight in your own wars.
