Lyrics for 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 (brave will fall) Life is lost again They gave it all (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 (brave will fall) Life is lost again They gave it all (gave it all) And they gave it all A price we can't ignore Is there hope in what they're dying for? For every hero born From every family torn We will honor you forever more One by one The brave will fall (brave will fall) Life is lost again They gave it all (gave it all) One by one The brave will fall Life is lost again They gave it all They gave it all
