Golden Hero
Brave young warrior slain in battle
Life is ended in a flash of steel
17, and soon forgotten
Frail, young body, lies cold and still
Brave young warrior slain in battle
Life is ended in a flash of steel
17, and soon forgotten
Frail, young body, lies cold and still
He's too young to be fighting
Too young, he's only 17
Too young to be the golden hero
Too young to be dying
Wake up, son, it's just a nightmare
That kind of thing could never happen here
Modern man, so civilized
There's not a chance that it could happen here
You're too young to be fighting
Too young, you're only seventeen
Too young to be the golden hero
Too young to be dying
Take a long hard look around you
We've come a long way in a thousand years
Governments and politicians
Offer platitudes to calm your fears
You're too young to be fighting
Too young, you're only 17
Too young to be the golden hero
Too young to be dying
Life is ended in a flash of steel
17, and soon forgotten
Frail, young body, lies cold and still
Brave young warrior slain in battle
Life is ended in a flash of steel
17, and soon forgotten
Frail, young body, lies cold and still
He's too young to be fighting
Too young, he's only 17
Too young to be the golden hero
Too young to be dying
Wake up, son, it's just a nightmare
That kind of thing could never happen here
Modern man, so civilized
There's not a chance that it could happen here
You're too young to be fighting
Too young, you're only seventeen
Too young to be the golden hero
Too young to be dying
Take a long hard look around you
We've come a long way in a thousand years
Governments and politicians
Offer platitudes to calm your fears
You're too young to be fighting
Too young, you're only 17
Too young to be the golden hero
Too young to be dying
