[Verse 1]
The kids in their hundreds tomorrow
Will march through the dawn
They're fighting someone else's war
There are so many stories to tell
In exchange for a hero's farewell
I wish I could, I wish I could make you return
And what if I'll never discern
As you walk to the toll of the bell
You'll be fighting for our heaven with hell
And you don't understand
Why no one else can see
[Bridge]
Your blood on me, and my blood on you
But to make you bleed
The only thing I wouldn't do
[Verse 2]
And you know, hero's aren't meant to survive
So much harder to love when alive
Broke with the devil in your head
You would think, you were better off dead
[Bridge]
Where can you go?
We fight we earn
We never learn
And through it all
The hero falls
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
I wish there was a way
To give you a hand to hold
You don't have to die in your glory
To never grow old
[Bridge x2]
[Hook]
