Banner

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 the disarray

Just like most, falling head in

'Til my ghost fills the bed in

So lift it up like a banner

Hold it up over me

If this war is never ending

I'll take this love down with me

Like a banner

Like a banner

I don't need fate to give it time,

It doesn't take pain to change your mind

No weapon can sever the soul from me

Not the sorceress, not the money

All my cleverness, all my cunning

So lift it up like a banner

Hold it up over me

If this war is never ending

I'll take this love down with me

Like a banner

Like a banner

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 counts me when it starts the counting

In the chaos there is a standard

I'm carrying it...

So lift it up like a banner

Hold it up over me

If this war is never ending

I'll take this love down with me (like a banner)

Like a banner

Hold it up over me (like a banner)

If this war is never ending (like a banner)

I'll take this love down with me
