Verse 1

Maybe it's bricks and mortar now

Whether or not they run it down

I don't want anything

 to shake that shape away

No one told us which way to come

Nobody mapped oblivion

So I go growing roses in disarray

Refrain 1

 Just like most falling head in

 Til my ghost fills the bed in

Chorus 1

 So lift it up like a banner

 Hold it up over me

 If this war is never ending

 I take this love

 down with me

 (Like a banner)

(Like a banner)

Verse 2

I don't need fate

to give it time

Doesn't take pain

 to change your mind

No weapon can sever

 the soul from me

Refrain 2

 Not the sorceress

 not the money

 All my cleverness

 all my cunning

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Bridge

It's around me in

my surroundings

It counts me when it

starts the counting

In the chaos

there is a standard

I'm carrying it

like a banner

It's around me in

my surroundings

It kills me when it

starts the counting

In the chaos

there is a standard

I'm carrying it

like a banner

Chorus 1

 So lift it up like a banner

 Hold it up over me

 If this war is never ending

 I take this love

 down with me

 (Like a banner)

 Hold it up over me

 If this war is never ending

 I take this love

 down with me
