The Charlie Daniels Band - Last Fallen Hero lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh the cowards came by morning And attacked without a warning Leaving flames and d**h And chaos in our streets In the middle of this fiery Hell brave heroes fell In the skies of Pennsylvania On a plane bound for destruction With the devil and his angels at the wheel They never reached their target on the ground Brave heroes brought it down [Chorus] This is a righteous cause So without doubt or pause I will do what my country asks of me Make any sacrifice We'll pay whatever price So the children of tomorrow can be free Lead on red, white and blue And we will follow you Until we win the final victory God help us do our best We will not slack or rest Until the last fallen hero rests in peace [Verse 2] Now the winds of war are blowing And there's no way of knowing Where this bloody path We're travelling will lead We must follow till the end Or face it all again And make no mistake about it Write it, preach it, talk it, shout it Across the mountains and the deserts and the seas The blood of innocence and shame Will not be shed in vain [Chorus] [Outro] God help us do our best we will not slack nor rest Till the last fallen hero rests in peace
