Lyrics

Another fallen hero
Has answered one last call
This one was from up above
He did it for us all
He did his duty
Tall and proud
He served this city well
This calling was for him so loud
I'd follow him to hell

We know that he's a hero
We Know he will be missed
His memory lives in our hearts
His badge his wife will kiss
And when we make that final call
so many like before
a hero's welcome from above
will wait at heaven's door

A Sea of Blue was there for you
on that final day
They came from places near and far
if only just to pray
Their hand it rested on their hearts
The flag it was released
The Heavens opened up above
to welcome you in peace

Your a hero
We know that you;ll be missed
Your memory stays in our hearts
Your badge your wife
Will kiss
And when we make that  final call
So many like before
A hero s welcome from above
Will wait at heaven's door

Another Fallen Hero
Has answered one last call
This one was from up above
He did it for us all
He did his duty tall and proud
He served this city well
His calling was for him so loud
I'd follow him to hell
We know that he's a Hero
We know he will be missed
His memory is in our hearts
His badge his wife will kiss
And when we make
That final call
So many like before
A hero s welcome from
Above
Will wait at heavens door
At heaven's door.
At heaven's door.
