| Rise Against – Hero of War Lyrics | 15 years ago |

Like assassination44, I am also a teenager. I have mixed feelings about the current wars. However, I do respect the soldiers and all that they do. I just wanted to think you for helping me put into words what I was unable to. I think that this song is about taking pride in your country, but when everyone does so in war you lose sight of the goal of peace. Sometimes in war immoral acts are committed and then it can be hard to tell who is and isn't a "hero of war". I would just like to analyze one brilliant line at the end where it says "It's the only flag I trust". I think that what is trying to be said is that sometimes pride for your country becomes too great to trust other nations. |

| I agree with "the realliam". Yes the music video does show the song viewed from more of an american perspective and has two scenes of American flags, but maybe it's only enforcing the idea of the flag in general. The lyrics mention nothing about America specifically. | |
