Surrender (Bleach The Flag)

I never cut you down, never broke your knees
Everything is inspiration, except the words you speak
Kick me when I’m down, pack the wound with salt
You can break my skin but I would never let you crush my ambitions!

Dear doubter, yeah naysayer, I am no soothsayer, but
My will is strong and I will lead this one
There is a difference between us: The rationalist versus the dreamer
This is Morpheus bound by Socrates, the thought of flight layered deep in crude oil

Wave your colors, dig your feet in, show me your teeth, and we’ll
Prepare for war! Tribes of the world clash
We bury the skulls within the earth
Hide the bones beneath, beneath our ancestors
And pretend we can hide our guilt below our apathy

Bleach the flag, bleach the flag
The earth will bleed its colors, the eyes will be bled of
Tears, the rivers will run dry
Our flags will be white. There will be peace
Our flags will be white
War has no winner
Put down your gun, rip out your teeth
