Lyrics
Verse 1
Patrolling through the streets of danger
You came across a man of anger
He threw down his deadly device
You sacrificed your life to save them
Chorus
Last Letters and New Tears
You proudly fight against your fears
You're leaving behind your family and friends
Just so that our peace won't end
Verse 2
You made it back to your homeland
To say your last good-byes
Your loved ones cried at your bedside
Thinking of the times you shared
Chorus
Last Letters and New Tears
You proudly fight against your fears
You're leaving behind your family and friends
Just so that our peace won't end
Ending (Repeated)
With or without the medals
You'll always be my hero
