I fear the flag of defeat / I can pick out its color / (Blood red, pale white) / Waving on battlefields / That has not yet seen war
And even though you can't see them / The stench of corpses fills the air / For centuries on end
I fear the scent of her skin / I can pick out its smell / Reminiscent of what has been / My self-devastation
And even though you can't see my scars / I've been cut over and over / For years on end
It's hard to fall / To dear to starve / You have to want to suffer / And fall in love with the floor / It's easy to survive / But hard to stay alive
I fear the flag of defeat / I can pick out its color / (Blood red, pale white) / Tried torn down / But still hanging higher than us
And even though you can't see them / The stench of corpses fills the air / For centuries on end
Waving on battlefields that has not yet seen war
It's had to fall / To dear to starve / You have to want to suffer / And fall in love with the floor / It's easy to survive / But hard to stay alive
And even though you can't see them / The stench of corpses fills the air / For centuries on end
I fear the scent of her skin / I can pick out its smell / Reminiscent of what has been / My self-devastation
