Hero of War

Rise Against

Transposer:

He said, "Son, Have you see the world ? Well, what would you say If I said that you could ? Just carry this gun. and you'll even get paid." Black leather boots Spit-shined so bright They cut off my hair but it looked alright We marched and we sang We all became friends As we learned how to fight A hero of war Yeah that's what I'll be And when I come home They'll be damn proud of me I'll carry this flag To the grave if I must Because it's the flag that I love And a flag that I trust I kicked in the door I yelled my commands The children, they cried But I got my man We took him away A bag over his face From his family and his friends They took off his clothes They pissed in his hands I told them to stop But then I joined in We beat him with guns And batons not just once But again and again A hero of war Yeah that's what I'll be And when I come home They'll be damn proud of me I'll carry this flag To the grave if I must Because it's the flag that I love And a flag that I trust She walked through bullets and haze I asked her to stop I begged her to stay But she pressed on So I lifted my gun And I fired away The shells jumped through the smoke And into the sand That the blood now had soaked She collapsed with a flag in her hand A flag white as snow A hero of war Is that what the see Just medals and scars So damn proud of me And I brought home that flag Now it gathers dust But it's a flag that I love It's the only flag I trust He said, "Son, have you seen the world ? Well what would you say, if I said that you could ?"

Cette chanson aborde le parcours d'un jeune soldat qui, séduit par l'idée de devenir un héros, se précipite dans la guerre, armé et animé par une forte illusion de fierté nationale. Au fur et à mesure de son expérience sur le terrain, il réalise la dure réalité du conflit ; derrière la bravoure se cachent la violence, la douleur des innocents, et des actes dont il ne peut plus se sentir fier. Ce qu'il pensait être un symbole de gloire se transforme rapidement en une charge pesante, une bannière couverte de poussière et de sang. Le contexte est celui d'une guerre moderne, où l'héroïsme est souvent glorifié sans prendre en compte les conséquences tragiques de la violence. Dans cette exploration, la chanson met en lumière le décalage entre l'idéal du soldat et la sombre vérité des actes commis, laissant derrière lui un sentiment de désillusion.
