Lyrics

No Flags

[Verse 1]

Not even a shadow

Follows in my steps

And you know we only break the barriers

Of the things we don't count anymore

[Chorus]

Just chip away at the stone

Just chip away their perfect control

You'll find them headless and carried

No flags to hide behind anymore

[Verse 2]

The radiation

Reaches up across the wall

We sleep in the battle stations

Military rations and rats in the floors

[Chorus]

Slip away, they're lost in their power

Slip away, their perfect control

You'll find their hummus to carry

No flag to hide behind anymore

No flag to hide bеhind anymore
