Rise Against - Hero Of War |
| [00:02.00] |
|
| [00:03.00] |
|
| [00:04.00] |
|
| [00:04.98] |
He said, “Son, have you see the world? |
| [00:10.40] |
Well, what would you say |
| [00:13.46] |
If I said that you could? |
| [00:16.75] |
Just carry this gun and you’ll even get paid.” |
| [00:22.77] |
I said, “That sounds pretty good.” |
| [00:26.36] |
|
| [00:29.54] |
Black leather boots |
| [00:32.02] |
Spit-shined so bright |
| [00:35.50] |
They cut off my hair |
| [00:38.14] |
but it looked alright |
| [00:42.30] |
We marched and we sang |
| [00:44.09] |
We all became friends |
| [00:47.60] |
As we learned how to fight |
| [00:51.56] |
|
| [00:54.53] |
A hero of war |
| [00:57.55] |
Yeah that’s what I’ll be |
| [01:00.17] |
And when I come home |
| [01:03.29] |
They’ll be damn proud of me |
| [01:06.26] |
I’ll carry this flag |
| [01:09.17] |
To the grave if I must |
| [01:12.55] |
Because it’s flag that I love |
| [01:15.42] |
And a flag that I trust |
| [01:18.29] |
|
| [01:19.19] |
I kicked in the door |
| [01:22.07] |
I yelled my commands |
| [01:25.07] |
The children, they cried |
| [01:28.38] |
But I got my man |
| [01:31.37] |
We took him away |
| [01:34.41] |
A bag over his face |
| [01:37.43] |
From his family and his friends |
| [01:41.49] |
|
| [01:43.93] |
They took off his clothes |
| [01:47.40] |
They pissed in his hands |
| [01:50.03] |
I told them to stop |
| [01:53.03] |
But then I joined in |
| [01:56.26] |
We beat him with guns |
| [01:59.20] |
And batons not just once |
| [02:02.37] |
But again and again |
| [02:06.44] |
|
| [02:07.66] |
A hero of war |
| [02:11.84] |
Yeah that’s what I’ll be |
| [02:14.82] |
And when I come home |
| [02:18.07] |
They’ll be damn proud of me |
| [02:21.04] |
I’ll carry this flag |
| [02:24.12] |
To the grave if I must |
| [02:27.37] |
Because it’s flag that I love |
| [02:30.34] |
And a flag that I trust |
| [02:37.54] |
|
| [02:41.10] |
She walked through bullets and haze |
| [02:46.04] |
I asked her to stop |
| [02:49.26] |
I begged her to stay |
| [02:52.43] |
But she pressed on |
| [02:55.46] |
So I lifted my gun |
| [02:58.57] |
And I fired away |
| [03:04.11] |
|
| [03:06.10] |
The shells jumped through the smoke |
| [03:11.12] |
And into the sand |
| [03:14.11] |
That the blood now had soaked |
| [03:17.38] |
She collapsed with a flag in her hand |
| [03:23.32] |
A flag white as snow |
| [03:29.59] |
|
| [03:30.40] |
A hero of war |
| [03:32.80] |
Is that what the see |
| [03:36.01] |
Just medals and scars |
| [03:38.90] |
So damn proud of me |
| [03:42.11] |
And I brought home that flag |
| [03:45.28] |
Now it gathers dust |
| [03:48.35] |
But it’s a flag that I love |
| [03:51.45] |
It’s the only flag I trust |
| [03:54.91] |
|
| [03:55.72] |
He said, “Son, have you seen the world? |
| [04:01.04] |
Well what would you say, |
| [04:04.40] |
If I said that you could?” |
| [04:08.72] |
