Dear Father Lyrics
Buried him in the cold wet ground
Familiar faces would have made him proud
The military and the working man
The history of the life he led
“Can you feel that soil covering your coffin?”
Can you feel? [x3]
(So, what are you gonna do?) Be the hero that your father was
(So, what are you gonna do?) Be the man he made you to be
And you are your father's son
Dear Father, Dear Father
Be the hero that your father was
Be the man he made you to be
The war torn stories that he told you
You've got a hell of a lot to live up to
An airborne man with a scar and a wound
“Never make a promise that you can't prove”
Dear Father, Dear Father
(So, what are you gonna do?) Be the hero that your father was
(So, what are you gonna do?) Be the man he made you to be
And you are your father's son
Dear Father, Dear Father
Be the hero that your father was
Be the man he made you to be
“Where are you? Where are you?
You coward, you coward”
[x2]
Familiar faces would have made him proud
The military and the working man
The history of the life he led
Can you feel? [x3]
(So, what are you gonna do?) Be the man he made you to be

Dear Father, Dear Father
Be the hero that your father was
Be the man he made you to be
You've got a hell of a lot to live up to
An airborne man with a scar and a wound
“Never make a promise that you can't prove”
(So, what are you gonna do?) Be the man he made you to be
And you are your father's son
Dear Father, Dear Father
Be the hero that your father was
Be the man he made you to be
You coward, you coward”

This song.. Holy shit. So good. The ending gives me chills every time.
This song takes place shortly after the younger brother murders the father and runs away. The older brother is trying to cope with his father's death, asking himself what he's going to do with his life.
