Red Flag

Prelude

Cold dawn is breaking

No comfort in the steel gray sky

Wanderers in mourning

Searching for the reason why

Verse 1

You said it's written in our silence

Fracture lines revealed in time

Buried words held like violence

Threaded through each borrowed sign

Two souls divided by the warning

Still return, battered and worn

Our voices tangled in the mourning

Knowing somehow we were torn

Oh oh

No

Oh oh

Chorus

You are the red flag

Flying in the freezing wind

You are the red flag

Everything I leave behind

Waving over empty ground

The bitter warning in the sound

Verse 2

Ashes fall in sheets

Shadows crack beneath my feet

Threadbare on the ground

Lost replies I never found

Standing in your storm

Pre-Chorus

It is done

It is finished

It is over

I am letting you fade

Chorus

You are the red flag

Flying in the freezing wind

You are the red flag

Everything I leave behind

Waving over empty ground

The bitter warning in the sound

Post-Chorus

The flag

The red flag

Burning it down

Burning it down

Verse 3

Stitches coming apart

Tearing through your hollow heart

Darkness in the rain

Tasting all the poison pain

No mercy for the fallen

Pre-Chorus

It is done

It is finished

It is over

I am letting you fade

Chorus

You are the red flag

Flying in the freezing wind

You are the red flag

Everything I leave behind

Waving over empty ground

The bitter warning in the sound

Guitar Solo

Chorus

You are the red flag

Flying in the freezing wind

You are the red flag

Everything I leave behind

Waving over empty ground

The bitter warning in the sound

Post-Chorus

The flag

The red flag

Burning it down

Burning it down

Bridge

One voice calls from nothing

One voice calls back

Are we haunted by the longing

Or just the final act

Red sewn through every memory

Darkness in the pact

No turning from the signal

When the sky is painted black

Guitar Solo
