"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

   gunfire in the street
   where we used to meet
   echoes that are beat 
   when the bass goes 'bomb'
   right over my head 
   step over the dead 
   remember what you said 
   
   y'know a part of my old life 
   is just a waking dream 
   well i know what you mean 
   but that ain't how it seems right here, right now 
   
   how can this be real? 
   i can hardly 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 
   hope you understand the way that things are gonna 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
