One By One
by Alter Bridge

Album: Blackbird

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
Heroes 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
(Brave will fall)
Life is lost again
They gave it all
(Gave it all)
They gave it all
