Hero of War- Rise Against

When war is in foreign countries, the price can easily forgotten. For the soldiers the hold our freedom intact the war is not always over when they return. Lyrics: He said, Son, Have you see the world? Well, what would you say If I said that you could? Just carry this gun and youll even get paid. I said, That sounds pretty good. Black leather boots Spit-shined so bright They cut off my hair but it looked alright We marched and we sang We all became friends As we learned how to fight A hero of war Yeah thats what Ill be And when I come home Theyll be damn proud of me Ill carry this flag To the grave if I must Because its 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 thats what Ill be And when I come home Theyll be damn proud of me Ill carry this flag To the grave if I must Because its 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 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 the see Just medals and scars So damn proud of me And I brought home that flag Now it gathers dust But its a flag that I love Its the only flag I trust He said, Son, have you seen the world? Well what would you say, if I said that you could?
