Intro: Synthesizer: Verse 1: 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 disarray Refrain 1: Just like most falling head in Til my ghost fills the bed in Chorus 1: So lift it up like a banner Hold it up over me If this war is never ending I take this love down with me (Like a banner) (Like a banner) Verse 2: I don't need fate to give it time Doesn't take pain to change your mind No weapon can sever the soul from me Refrain 2: Not the sorceress not the money All my cleverness all my cunning Repeat Chorus 1) Bridge: 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 kills me when it starts the counting In the chaos there is a standard I'm carrying it like a banner Chorus 1: So lift it up like a banner Hold it up over me If this war is never ending I take this love down with me (Like a banner) Hold it up over me If this war is never ending I take this love down with me
