Although it is a track off of Priest's 1974 debut album, Rocka Rolla, Dying To Meet You, it is also the title track from the collection Hero, Hero.

Yes, the title track of something called Hero, Hero is called Dying to Meet You.

This anti-war tune is, like much of the early Priest tunes, a multi-part piece. The video clearly captures the different flavors of the two portions...

Slow and brooding at first, we open with an infantryman describing his role in the war... and then, the second portion, with the refrain "Hero, hero..." comes in...

Warning: this video contains some graphic images. War tends not to end well for one or more parties involved...
