"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 
    
    You knowknow 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
