Hero Of War by Rise Against

He said, "Son
Have you seen the world?
Oh, (1)________ would you say
If I said that you could?
Just carry this gun, you'll even get paid."
I said, "That sounds pretty good."

Black leather boots
Spit-shined so bright
They cut off my hair but it looked alright
We marched and we sang
We all became friends
As we learned how to fight

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
'Cause it's the flag that I love
And the (2)________ that I trust
I kicked in the door
I yelled my commands
The children, they cried
But I got my man
We took him away
A bag over his face
From his family and his friends

They took off his clothes
They pissed in his hands
I told them to stop
But Then I joined in
We beat him with guns
And batons not just once
But again and again

A (3)________ of war
Yeah that's (4)________ 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
'Cause it's the 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 start
So I lifted my gun
And I fired away

And the shells (5)____________ (6)______________ the smoke
And into the sand
That the blood now had soaked
She collapsed with a flag in her hand
A flag white of snow

A hero of war
Is that what (7)________ see
Just (8)____________ and scars
So (9)________ proud of me
And I brought home that flag
Now it gathers dust
But it's the flag that I love
It's the only flag I trust
He said, "Son, have you seen the world?
Well what would you say
If I said that you could?"
