James Bene - 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
