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 disarrayJust like most, falling head in
'Til my ghost fills the bed inSo 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 bannerI don't need fate to give it time, it doesn't take pain to change your
Mind
No weapon can sever the soul from meNot the sorceress, not the money
All my cleverness, all my cunningSo 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 bannerIt'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 bannerIt'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 bannerSo 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 bannerLike a banner
Hold it up over me
If this war is never ending
I'll take this love down with me
