Lyrics Charlie Daniels

Charlie Daniels

Last Fallen Hero

Oh the cowards came by morning

and attacked without a warning

Am

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

Am

With the devil and his angels at the wheel

They never reached their target on the ground

Em

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

Em

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 nor rest

Till the last fallen hero rests in peace

Now the winds of war are blowing and thereâs no way of knowing

Am

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, sing it, preach it, shout it

Am

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
