One By One

Underneath the desert sun
They bid my brother's blood to run
Many miles away
Hell has come today
Fire raining from the sky
See the face of fear asking one last time
Let me get home safe
Before it's too late
One by one
The brave will fall
Life is lost again
They gave it all
Deep within the castle walls
So many grieve as funeral songs
Echo endlessly
Ode to memories
This sacrifice of flesh and blood
For a promised land that may not be won
Let us not forget the hero laid to rest
One by one
The brave will fall
Life is lost again
They gave it all
And they have it all
A price we can't ignore
Is there hope in what they're dying for?
For every hero born
For every family torn
We will honour you forever more
One by one
The brave will fall
Life is lost again
They gave it all
One by one
The brave will fall
Life is lost again
They gave it all
