Hero Of War - Rise Against - Piano Cover

My cover of Hero Of War by Rise Against. Sorry for my amateur voice xD.

Lyrics:

He said "Son, have you seen the world?
Well, what would you say if I said that you could?
Just carry this gun and you'll even get paid."
I said "That sounds pretty good."

Black leather boots
Spit-shined so bright
They cut off my hair but it looked alright
We marched and we sang
We all became friends
As we learned how to fight

A hero of war
Yeah that's what I'll be
And when I come home
They'll be damn proud of me
I'll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it's a flag that I love
And a flag that I trust

I kicked in the door
I yelled my commands
The children, they cried
But I got my man
We took him away
A bag over his face
From his family and his friends

They took off his clothes
They pissed in his hands
I told them to stop
But then I joined in
We beat him with guns
And batons not just once
But again and again

A hero of war
Yeah that's what I'll be
And when I come home
They'll be damn proud of me
I'll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it's a flag that I love
And a flag that I trust

She walked through bullets and haze
I asked her to stop
I begged her to stay
But she pressed on
So I lifted my gun
And I fired away

The shells jumped through the smoke
And into the sand
That the blood now had soaked
She collapsed with a flag in her hand
A flag white as snow

A hero of war
Is that what they see
Just medals and scars
So damn proud of me
And I brought home that flag
Now it gathers dust
But it's a flag that I love
It's the only flag I trust

He said, "Son, have you seen the world?
Well what would you say, if I said that you could?"

Love this man. Amazing voice. Amazing piano playing, You put a lot of passion into this and thats all that matters. I hate people who think you have to sound "perfect" to be amazing. This is perfect.

@RejectionsHD Thanks dude! It means a lot to me!

[hackg33k]

Your voice is great, and with the right song, it would fit perfectly. However, it was a little too happy-tuned considering the lyrics. Amazing skills though. Oh, and take knowledge in critics, they often tell you how you can improve. I do not say you need to improve myself, I simply say that your voice was rather happy for the song itself.

@hackg33k Thanks dude, an inteligent and honest critic is always welcome! I'll keep that in mind...
