about
This song is based on a true story of Lucas Dolega, 32 year-old French/German photojournalist, who died in Tunis after being hit in the head by a tear gas canister fired by a police officer.
He was covering a Tunisian protest (2010-2011) that, days after his death, was called "Jasmin Revolution".
Dolega was the first of a number of journalists who were killed over the course of the Arab Spring uprisings in 2011.

lyrics
Eyes will tell everyone
What a war may become
Get your share, no one cares
There’s no easy way out
This is war, smell the blood
Like before, not the first
Get your gun, you’ll get hurt
Can’t you tell?
Some tear gas will halt the crowd
One more death, a thousand more
Can you see the smoke ahead
I’m not scared
Feel the blood go down your cheek
Don’t you let them feel you’re weak
Hear the noise blow up your ears
The soldier that lies within me
He doesn’t carry guns, he carries pictures
The soldier that lives inside me
He doesn’t wave his guns, he shares his ideas
There’s no nation
That you can’t save
So much passion
You’re on your own
There’s no mission
That you can’t win
So much passion
You’re all alone
Get back to the field
All the others are fighting
Turning back is not something you will see
Watch the city collapse as you attack
Get your shit, put it back, get your best shot
Don’t you dare be afraid, no one else is
Point it up, hit his head, feel your heartbeat
Hold it up, the next one, someone’s family
Carry on, it’s your job
It’s your duty
The soldier that lies within me
He doesn’t carry guns, he carries pictures
The soldier that lives inside me
He doesn’t wave his guns, he shares his ideas
The soldier that lies within me
He doesn’t carry guns, he carries pictures
The soldier that lives inside me
He doesn’t wave his guns, he shares his ideas
Oh oh oh...
