Karaoké Hero of War Rise Against

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

'Cos it's a 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

'Cos 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 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
