[00:18.89]Hero's Song
[00:20.20]Brendan James
[00:21.90]The Day Is Brave
[00:22.26]Here I am
[00:23.71]In the desert again
[00:26.07]A compass and a weapon
[00:30.17]A lost American
[00:32.02]I started out with a simple plan
[00:36.17]And a locket in my hand
[00:37.82]But the sun is so unforgiving
[00:41.23]And the wind so hard to stand
[00:45.68]Fall out, fall out
[00:47.68]With the rest of your brothers
[00:49.68]With the rest of your sisters
[00:52.53]Heroes on the line
[00:57.68]Carry out what your leader says
[01:00.03]For what his leader says
[01:01.79]Is that his leader says
[01:03.94]This is right for the people
[01:07.45]No one will ever understand what
[01:13.80]Thousands of beautiful healthy young statues must fall
[01:20.56]Smoke and explosions surround me
[01:24.66]A flood of hate, it drowns me
[01:27.46]I cannot live this way
[01:29.51]No I cannot live
[01:31.31]With doubt and confusion
[01:33.61]They find me
[01:35.81]They run up right behind me
[01:38.52]I cannot die this way
[01:40.87]No, I cannot die this way
[01:44.03]
[01:56.48]In the water, in the sand
[01:58.58]Is the blood of a culture
[02:00.69]Is the blood of an ancient people
[02:03.89]In whose holy war I stand
[02:06.95]I hear the world like a cannon roar
[02:09.90]Say I can win this war
[02:12.95]I promise them this
[02:15.90]Isn’t what I signed up for
[02:19.05]
[02:19.96]No one will ever understand what
[02:26.12]Thousands of beautiful healthy young statues must fall
[02:30.87]Smoke and explosions surround me
[02:35.77]A flood of hate, it drowns me
[02:38.28]I cannot live this way
[02:40.13]No I cannot live
[02:43.08]With doubt and confusion
[02:45.79]They find me
[02:46.64]They run up right behind me
[02:49.54]I cannot die this way
[02:52.00]No, I cannot die this way
[02:56.06]No one will ever understand what
[03:23.74]Thousands of beautiful healthy young soldiers must fall
[03:30.36]Smoke and explosions surround me
[03:38.26]A flood of hate, it drowns me
[03:41.16]I cannot live this way
[03:42.77]No I cannot live
[03:44.57]With doubt and confusion
[03:47.92]They find me
[03:48.97]They run up right behind me
[03:52.12]I cannot die this way
[03:54.22]No, I will not die this way
