Burn The Flag
What to do when you find you've spent your years building walls?
How do you go about building a bridge across the sea?
Raise the flag of your homeland hoping you'll be welcomed in
Burn the flag you just raised, your home is now the enemy
How can this be how it ends?
Penance for our many sins?
I watched you from far away
Burn it to the ground
Heart, soul, and mind scream out "betray"
And try to not be found
Knees bent and dusty from the clay
On the battleground
I watched you run far away
To the arms of one who cannot
Ticking by, time is flying and yet frozen all at once
Standing by, watching waves erode the sand beneath your feet
Raise your eyes to the heavens seek the face of One who knows
Bow your eyes to the ground realize the truth that you once knew
How can this be how it ends?
Penance for our many sins?
I watched you from far away
Burn it to the ground
Heart, soul, and mind scream out "betray"
And try to not be found
Knees bent and dusty from the clay
On the battleground
I watched you run far away
To the arms of one who cannot
I watched you from far away
Burn it to the ground
Heart, soul, and mind scream out "betray"
And try to not be found
Knees bent and dusty from the clay
On the battleground
I watched you run far away
To the arms of one who cannot save
How do you go about building a bridge across the sea?
Raise the flag of your homeland hoping you'll be welcomed in
Burn the flag you just raised, your home is now the enemy
How can this be how it ends?
Penance for our many sins?
I watched you from far away
Burn it to the ground
Heart, soul, and mind scream out "betray"
And try to not be found
Knees bent and dusty from the clay
On the battleground
I watched you run far away
To the arms of one who cannot
Ticking by, time is flying and yet frozen all at once
Standing by, watching waves erode the sand beneath your feet
Raise your eyes to the heavens seek the face of One who knows
Bow your eyes to the ground realize the truth that you once knew
How can this be how it ends?
Penance for our many sins?
I watched you from far away
Burn it to the ground
Heart, soul, and mind scream out "betray"
And try to not be found
Knees bent and dusty from the clay
On the battleground
I watched you run far away
To the arms of one who cannot
I watched you from far away
Burn it to the ground
Heart, soul, and mind scream out "betray"
And try to not be found
Knees bent and dusty from the clay
On the battleground
I watched you run far away
To the arms of one who cannot save
