The Good Soldier—Sam Fog Mix (Friend Or Faux 001)
"The Good Soldier" is the fourth track on the 2007 release Year Zero. The chorus of this song includes the lyrics "I Am Trying To Believe."
Alan Cross from 102.1 CFNYFM The Edge in Toronto had this song "mysteriously show up" in his office. His description of this song is "Moody, slower. Great grind-y bass synth groove. A natural pick for a single!"[1]

Lyrics
Gun fire in the street
Where we used to meet
Echoes out a beat and the bass goes
Bomb right over my head
Step over the dead
Remember what you said you know, the part about
Life is just a waking dream
I know what you mean
But that ain't how it seems right here and how
How can all this be real
I can barely feel
Anymore
I am trying to see
I am trying to believe
This is not where I should be
I am trying to believe
Blood hardens in the sand
Cold metal in my hand
Maybe help you understand
The way that things will be
There's nowhere left to hide
'Cause God is on our side
I keep telling myself
I am trying to see
I am trying to believe
This is not where I should be
I am trying to believe
No one's even sure
What we're fighting for
Or who we even are
Anymore
I feel
So far away
Some changes were made in the final recorded lyrics. The ninth line of the first verse saw a slight change:
But that ain't how it seems right here and now
The third and fourth lines of the second verse were slightly reworded:
Help you understand
The way that things are gonna be
