[00:01.00]	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?
