American Warrior

A small town boy lived by the river He was a fighter, a survivor Lost inside the mines of this mechanic war Clenched a purple heart blood-stained and torn He was a hot blooded Casanova But he believed in angels Cause he perceived in something else And he saw a vision of a phoenix Rising above Los Angeles I knew him way before the crowd started cheering When nobody would give him a second chance I knew him when he was that star-crossed dreamer The American Warrior I knew him way before the sky started crashing When he'd lay alone crying in his bed It took some time before the lion stated roaring The American Warrior Evolution leads to confusion Creation breaks through all dissolution Technology ignites robotic hands Blazing ammunition at all who stand Against extra-terrestrial demands But he believed in angels Cause he perceived in something else And he saw a vision of a phoenix Rising above Los Angeles I knew him way before the crowd started cheering When nobody would give him a second chance I knew him when he was that star-crossed dreamer The American Warrior I knew him way before the sky started crashing When he'd lay alone crying in his bed It took some time before the lion stated roaring The American Warrior Gold and black flag I'm a warrior Take it all back like a warrior, a warrior Dreams escape through the cracks seep into the ground Won't surrender my heart to this ghost town I knew him way before the crowd started cheering When nobody would give him a second chance I knew him when he was that star-crossed dreamer The American Warrior I knew him way before the sky started crashing When he'd lay alone crying in his bed It took some time before the lion stated roaring The American Warrior Gold and black flag I'm a warrior Take it all back like a warrior, a warrior Take it back gold and black Take it back Again
