Lyrics

Waving Flag

I'm tired Of waiting For a better day I'm scared And I'm lazy and Nothing's gonna change The war is Not over The blood's still on the ground But I'm far And I'm safe and I will not make a sound I watch from the edge But all I can see are the waves The flags Are waving They're ready for the past They're strong And they're saying The fighting's gonna last Till the dead Can rise up from their beds And laugh with their friends The future Is only a dream You sought The future They tried to make you hide We took Forever But now we're on your side Let us rest With our friends In the sun Cause the battle is won The present Is only a dream Why don't you let us be? Why won't you let us be?

Will Butler on Dork

Will Butler joins forces with Sister Squares for a new single, 'Willows'

The band have been touring together since 2015, and now, with 'Willows', they're officially collaborators.

Will Butler has shared two new songs, ‘A Stranger’s House’ and ‘Nearer To Thee’

It is his first new music since his departure from Arcade Fire earlier this year.

Will Butler has confirmed he's left Arcade Fire: "I’ve changed—and the band has changed—over the last almost 20 years"

He'd not appeared with the band at their recent surprise shows.

Will Butler: "I think of the record as a complex and satisfying stew"

Five years on from his solo debut, and Arcade Fire’s Will Butler is pondering his place in America, past and present.
