No Flag

Before you, they've come and gone
Lived in the darkest hour too long
Now you flames, oh you flames, I call you
Fight for dawn

I am rich and poor and everything in between
I am familiar, I'm like nothin' you ever seen
The quiet one but they never call me silent
The one who's loud with the tendency to turn violent
Sane and level headed, I border on insanity
'Cause I'm failed by human beings but have faith in humanity
I am many, but I am one
United by a heart of fire to shame the sun

Trained to see difference, remain blind to diversity
Forced to embrace the majority by the whip of conformity
Commanded to be strong, 'cause it's that or you're weak
Conquest and safety, are the things I must seek
Try being compassionate, kind and giving also nicely asked of me
Gather a ton of firewood, try not cutting down a tree
Through this symphony of slavery, I heard the world's sorrow
Now I dream of freedom as I think of tomorrow

Before you, they've come and gone
Lived in the darkest hour too long
Now you flames, oh you flames, I call you
Fight for the dawn

Flashes litter the night sky of our histories
I gaze at constellations of well fought victories
Their permanence marred by generations ignoring that which is true
Orchestrated to a play a tune for the pleasure of a few
Renegade flames condemned to be burns on the stage
A source of inspiration, a source of my rage
Now here we are such flames, answer my call
Become the generation of fire to burn down it all

Flames burn as a fire against the darkness of the human race
Armed on a scale, it has never faced
Our swords are forged of compassion, belief is our shield
Drums beat, we make our march to first of many battlefields
Empowered by the knowledge that we'll never win this war
That's why we fight harder, that is why we roar
No surrender, down to the last woman and man
For the generation of fire will leave a legacy, that burns brighter, than we ever can

Before you, they've come and gone
Lived in the darkest hour too long
Now you flames, oh you flames, I call you
Fight for the dawn
