Rise Against - Hero Of War Lyrics

Send "Hero Of War" ringtone to your cell

He said "Son have you seen the world?

Well what would you say if I said that you could?

Just carry this gun you'll even get paid"

I said "That sounds pretty good"

Black leather boots spit shined so bright

They cut off my hair but it looks alright

We marched and we sang

We all became friends as we learned how to fight

A hero of war yeah that's what I'll be

And when I come home they'll be damn proud of me

I'll carry this flag to the grave if I must

'Cause it's flag that I love and a flag that I trust

I kicked in the door I yelled my commands

The children they cried but I got my man

We took him away a bag over his face

From his family and his friends

They took off his clothes they pissed in his hands

I told them to stop but then I joined in

We beat him with guns and batons

Not just once but again and again

A hero of war yeah that's what I'll be

And when I come home they'll be damn proud of me

I'll carry this flag to the grave if I must

'Cause it's flag that I love and a flag that I trust

She walked through bullets and haze

I asked her to stop I begged her to stay

But she pressed on

So I lifted my gun and I fired away

And the shells jumped through the smoke

And into the sand that the blood now had soaked

She collapsed with a flag in her hand

A flag white as snow

A hero of war is that what they see

Just medals and scars so damn proud of me

And I brought home that flag now it gathers dust

But it's a flag that I love it's the only flag I trust

He said "Son have you seen the world?

Well what would you say if I said that you could?"
