acoustcmaddie and bill white - Echoes of a hero

from pittsburgh, ohio by Bill White

/

lyrics

1. With one hand on the Bible
he knew it was a libel
To call the man in front of him a hero
when the deeds the man had done were zero

Ch
He swore an oath
He lied a thousand lies
Whit one hand at the bible
and one hand at the heart
He also sang a thousand more goodbyes

2. The medals on their chest(s)
Sad some believe they were the best
But echoes from Nuremberg told the truth
they had lied through all the days of their past youth

Ch
They swore an oath
They lied a thousand lies
Whit one hand at the bible
and one hand at the heart
They also sang a thousand more goodbyes

Outro
And we still hear the sound of what once were
And none of us want to go back there
To the echoes of what we once called a hero
Are shaded since the deeds they did were zero.

Ch
They swore an oath
They lied a thousand lies
Whit one hand at the bible
and one hand at the heart
They also sang a thousand more goodbyes

Ch
They swore an oath
They lied a thousand lies
Whit one hand at the bible
and one hand at the heart
They also sang a thousand more goodbyes
