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 Because it’s 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
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 the 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
