Hero's Crown

The grey white and red of the sky up ahead come calling my name
I swore that I knew about the words of the true and the pride of the game
I bled in a war for the red white and blue under lighting and rain
Lightning and rain
I shot my brother down
They gave me a hero’s crown
I wore it all the way down, down, down (down, down)
Drive through the night, yeah I follow the light of trucks as they pass
Tall churches of white where they kneel for the fight in long fields of grass
If I could be free with my hair in the wind I’d ride back to you
But there’s blood on my hands and there’s thoughts in my head that I
cannot undo
(Chorus)
Wake under pressure, it rattles my chest, I’m afraid of the sound
Sit up on my bed with the memory of young bodies hitting the ground
Watch out, there’s a fire in the sky
There’s a chain ‘round my heart as I realize
