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
