The kids in the hundreds tomorrow
Will march through the door 
They’re fighting someone else’s war 
They’ll have so many stories to tell 
In exchange for a heroe’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 
Your blood on me
And my blood on you 
But to make you bleed
The only thing I wouldn’t do 

And you know, heroes aren’t meant to survive 
So much harder to love when alive 
Walk with the devil in your head 
You would think you were better off dead 

And you don’t understand 
Why no one else can see 
Your blood on me
And my blood on you 
But to make you bleed
The only thing I wouldn’t do

Where can you go?
Fight and fight and fight and earn
Where can you go?
Fight and fight and fight and earn
We fight, we earn
We never learn
And through it all
The hero falls

I wish there was a way 
To give you a hand to hold 
Cause you don’t have to die in your glory 
Die to never grow old
