Lyrics The Last Fallen Hero - The Charlie Daniels Band

The Last Fallen Hero

Oh, the cowards came by morning and attacked without a warning
Leaving flames and death 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
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
Till the last fallen hero rests in peace
Now the winds of war are blowing and there’s no way of knowing
Where this bloody path we’re traveling 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
God help us do our best we will not slack nor rest
Till the last fallen hero rests in peace
