My favourite song

Hello everyone! Today I want to speak you all about my favourite song, It is "Hero of war" by Rise Against.
It deals with the war, and how soldiers feel when they are involved in it. First, it begins showing how interesting it can be to take part in a war, because you are defending your country and your honour, but as the song goes on, feelings become the opposite, and it shows the reality of war. I love this song because I am  very peaceful and I defend  peace above all!!!
I hope you like it!
He said, "Son, 
Have you seen the world? 
Well, what would you say 
If I said that you could? 
Just carry this gun, you'll even get paid." 
I said, "That sounds very good." 
Black leather boots 
Spit-shined so bright 
They cut off my hair but it looked al-right
We marched and we sang 
We all became friends 
As we learned how to fight 

CHORUS 

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 
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 

CHORUS 

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 
And 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 

CHORUS 

A hero of war 
Is that what they 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

  1. Good post, Elvira. Thanks a lot. But, please, don't use colloquial English in your texts in this blog. This is a very 'formal' site!!
