[Verse 1]
The kids in their hundreds tomorrow will march through the door
They’re fighting someone else's war
They'll have so many stories to tell
In exchange for a hero's farewell
I wish I could
I wish I could make you return
And what if I’ll never discern?
As you walk to the toll of the bell
You’ll be fighting for our heaven with hell

[Pre-Chorus]
And you don't understand
Why no one else can see

[Chorus]
It's your blood on me
And my blood on you
But to make you bleed
The only thing I wouldn't do

[Verse 2]
And you know, heroes aren't meant to survive
So much harder to love when alive
Broke, with the devil in your head
You would think you were better off dead
[Pre-Chorus]
And you don’t understand
Why no one else can see

[Chorus]
It's your blood on me
And my blood on you
But to make you bleed
The only thing I wouldn't do

[Post-Chorus]
Where can you go? (Fighting, fighting, fighting)
Where can you go? (Fighting, fighting, fighting)
We fight, we yearn
We never learn
And through it all
The hero falls

[Verse 3]
I wish there was a way
To give you a hand to hold
'Cause you don't have to die in your glory
Die, to never grow old

[Chorus]
It's your blood on me
And my blood on you
Butt to make you bleed
The only thing I wouldn't do
It's your blood on me
And my blood on you
But to make you bleed
The only thing I wouldn't do
[Post-Chorus]
Where can you go? (Fighting, fighting, fighting)
Where can you go? (Fighting, fighting, fighting)
We fight, we yearn
We never learn
And through it all
The hero falls
