}}'''"The Good Soldier"''' is the fourth track on the 2007 release ''[[Year Zero]]''. The chorus of this song includes the line "I Am Trying To Believe."

===The Good Soldier===

This is the original album version. Both the drum loop and bass riff that begin the song remain steady throughout the song, though the drums drop out to leave the filtered bass riff as a bridge to the song's coda. Its melodically-sung verses are backed by a distorted guitar riff that contrasts musically with the chorus, which features airy synthesizer pads. The ending adds a second bass riff on top of the first and a new guitar riff, also characterized by Reznor's wordless background wailing. Most of the layers eventually stop together, leaving the drum loop to repeat for four measures and lead directly into "[[Vessel]]."
