The Last Fallen Hero Lyrics - Charlie Daniels Band

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 

Chorus: 

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 

Chorus: 

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 

God help us do our best we will not slack nor rest 

Till the last fallen hero rests in peace
