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
