"Another Hero Lost" is the second single from the album Threads of Life by the thrash metal band Shadows Fall. Unlike most other Shadows Fall songs, it is a soft ballad. It was written about singer Brian Fair's cousin, who died in the U.S. war in Iraq.{{cite web|url=http://heavymetal.about.com/od/cdreviews/gr/shadowsfallthre.htm|title=Shadows Fall - Threads of Life|publisher=About.com|first=Chad|last=Bowar|accessdate=March 13, 2017 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923120436/http://heavymetal.about.com/od/cdreviews/gr/shadowsfallthre.htm |archivedate=September 23, 2015}} During concerts the band dedicates the song to soldiers fighting, and ones who have died in Iraq.
