Charlie Daniels Band, The - The Last Fallen Hero Lyrics

Who’s here after Iran?

"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

[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

Love you Charlie

Great patriotic song.

NEVER FORGET // 9-11 - 2001

"axed by PBS from their 2002 Capitol 4th TV special"This says a lot about PBS, doesn't it?

Love hearing anything by this great man!

Charlie you are an amazing artist and I have always loved your music. You have the courage to stand for and speak out for those who cannot. Thank you for this beautiful song and thank you for always being a true and real performer. May God Bless You and Watch Over You Always. (Would love to catch the show in Nashville in August but I am in NM and may not be able to) Love You CDB.

Whoo-hoo! Go CDB! Wish more of our artists were that patriotic.

PBS...Ugh...

Charlie was around before PBS. Freedom doesn't come free. GOD BLESS 

God bless you Charlie Daniels band.PBS is so wrong

I think PBS was wrong

good song but there are some sacrifices that we cannot make for instance we cannot give up our freedom to protect it.

Are you a little slow?

God Bless Charlie Daniels. He really cares about our country. He's genuine.

what a joke he will sing anything to make a buck he really cares about the dollar!

I disagree.

And you don't?

Jealous ......Much?

cheslock13 where did he make money about the American hostages in Iran in 1980? We’re you even alive Cheslock13? Listen to the song simple man. That describes a lot of people. You keep doing your meth and screwing up this country while we take care of it

Beautiful song!

Awesome!

God Bless our Troops as well as Charlie! My parents were married in 1963 as well. Now, how many people you know have a marriage that lasts like that?! True love, values, etc.! I tried my hand at it, 3 year engagement with a New Zealand woman, didn't work out, I came back home. Yeah I moved to NZ, don't be too jealous, it is a bit over rated but anyway just saying great song and great human being!

Muito bom !!!

Hairy pussys rule

We Heed Our Home Where They Belong Helping America.If Bin Loden Is Really Dead,
Why Is All Our Troops Still Over Seas? The USA Is In Dire Needs Of Help.Please Mr

Today four years and 5 months ago, our only son gave the ultimate sacrifice when he came to the aid of 12 soldiers...
Time does not heal, ask a mother of a Fallen Hero.
Beautiful song Charlie Daniels Band... brings more new tears to this mothers eyes.
