Heroes Die First

They were hungry and thirsty to win glory
Men with their dreams and decided to go all the way
The general told to march behind enemy lines
Forget tomorrow, stop and wait for the signal.

A hundred men with guns in their hands in their command
They died in battle fighting for their country
A book was written in their tributes and memories
And the story will play its part from now.

In the contest for power, nations rise and fall.
Losses on both sides, but tomorrow, all over again.

Brave men moved by the hope and tormented by fear
Reload weapons because we're going behind enemy lines
Outside light into the night without being able to see
Lost in a crossfire that nobody can win.

A hundred men with guns in their hands in their command
They died in battle fighting for their country
A book was written in their tributes and memories
And the story will play its part from now.

Heroes die first, they give their lives for the glory.
Heroes die first, they give their lives for their country.
Heroes die first, they give their lives for others.
Heroes die first

In the contest for power, heroes die first, nations rise and fall.
Losses on both sides, but tomorrow, all over again.

Heroes die first, they give their lives for the glory.
Heroes die first, they give their lives for their country.
Heroes die first, they give their lives for others.
