Lyrics
Herie
By Darrin James
Herie fought in the war for Iran
He had a dream of a freer land.
His family was murdered in front of his eyes,
But I?ve never seen him cry
Herie, Herie, Herie my friend
Will you ever love again?
Herie, Herie, Herie my friend
Such a gentle man.
They gave him a machine gun
He fire one round.
The powerful kick
Threw him to the ground.
But hatred and rage took over his mind,
And he could shoot two at a time.
Herie, Herie, Herie my friend
Will you ever love again?
Herie, Herie, Herie my friend
Such a gentle man.
His family dead, no faith in Iran
When he saw the chance he deserted, he ran.
As a political refugee,
He gained asylum in Germany.
Now in Munich he lives free.
He smokes hashish in the garden with me.
Herie, Herie, Herie my friend
Will you ever love again?
Herie, Herie, Herie my friend
Will I ever see you again.
Herie, Herie, Herie my friend
Such a gentle man.
