The flags contort and distort
In the air
Writhing in the wind
Nations proud, lie
Humbled at their knees
What is done in the dark
Shall be brought to the light
In full view and truth
The flags contort and distort
In the air
Writhing in the wind
Nations proud, lie
Humbled at their knees
What is done in the dark
Shall be brought to the light
In full view and truth
Stand tall
Taller than your shadow
Overshadow yourself
Let the sun stop at you
And not pass through
Don’t hide from it
The light will shine
Bringing colour to the dark
Where you lay, curtains drawn
The light fighting through the cracks
Trying to find your face
Fire!
Leaked from the stars
The endless night
Raged
At the thought of light
Awake!
Men of Steel
Stand sharp and tall!
A thousand teeth
Unsheath and set themselves
To work on flesh that now hangs from bone
The hot fangs melting steel to skin
Awake men!
Stand sharp and tall!
The light will come for us
In the end
The light grew dim in my room
I could tell it was fading away
I outstretched my hands from bed
To play with what light was left
I let it fall to my palms
Dancing on the tips of my fingers
Rolling up my arms
Warmly hugging my skin
Jumping into my eyes
Until the light leaves me
The room grows dark
My arms, limp
