The colours of your flag

Edthepoet

Who?.. You?

The one I can't defeat?

Do yourself a favour

...retreat

 

Who?.. You?

The one I'll never beat?

Do yourself a favour

...and leave

 

You can.. appear

At my window

Or in my dreams

I will... Snear

For god never found me

But there's no god left round here

 

You can.. appear

At my doorstep

Or in my memories

I won't.. fear

For satan never found me

Though he come so near

 

Lay....lay your weapon down

Stay....where the sun hits the ground

Why should my life

Be taken in the name

The name of another

Who'll never see my face

 

We meet on this battle field

With our bloody clothes torn

Knowing more of each other 

Than those who sent us to kill

 

You don't even know why

For you are yet a man

Trying to bleed 

The colours of your flag

 

And your fearless leader

Doesn't care if you're dead

Or indeed if I am...

 

My brother in arms

My sister in hand

This was once the promise 

This was once the promise land

The promise land

The promise land..
