He said, “Son, Have you seen the war? Well, what would you say if I said it’s not far? Just carry this sword, you’ll even get paid with a song about your star!”
Strong chainmail skirts Armor polished bright “Don’t be afraid, you’ll be alright” We laughed and we drank 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 the flag that I love And the flag that I trust
I charged on my horse I yelled my commands The children, they cried They too met their ends Soon again on our way They found no graves Like their family and their friends
They took off her clothes They laughed at her pain I told them to stop But then I joined in We had her in turns And that 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 the flag that I love And the flag that I trust
We rode through arrows and haze No plea made us stop Our swords cut the way The summer is gone but it’s knights still live on Innocence at play…
Friends they fell, in dark and in light Into the sands, Where the blood never dried I was blind, now there’s blood on my hands A mere summer knight…
A hero of war Is that what they see Just stories and scars So damn proud of me? And I brought home that flag Now it gathers dust But it’s the flag that I love It’s the only flag I trust
He said, “Son, Have you seen the war? Well, what would you say if I said it’s not far?
