Hero Of War Lyrics
by Rise Against
He said Son, have you seen the world?
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 looked 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 a flag that I love, and a flag that I trust
I kicked in the door, I yelled my commands,
The children all 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 a 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, and the blood now half-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 its a flag that I love, it's the only flag I trust
He said son, have you seen the world?
What would you say, If i said that you could...
