[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

[Verse 2]
No one told us which way to come
Nobody mapped oblivion
So, I go growing roses
In the disarray

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Just like most
Falling head in
'Til my ghost fills
The bed in

[Chorus]
So, lift it up, like a banner
Hold it up over me
If this war is never ending
I'll take this love down with me

[Post-Chorus]
Like a banner
Like a banner
[Verse 3]
I don't need fate to give it time
It doesn't take pain to change your mind
No weapon can sever
The soul from me

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Not the sorceress
Not the money
All my cleverness
All my cunning

[Chorus]
So, lift it up, like a banner
Hold it up over me
If this war is never ending
I'll take this love down with me

[Post-Chorus]
Like a banner
Like a banner

[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 counts me, when it starts the counting
In the chaos, there is a standard
I'm carrying it...
[Chorus]
So, lift it up, like a banner (like a banner)
Hold it up over me (over me)
If this war (if this war) is never ending (is never ending)
I'll take this love (i'll take this love) down with me
(Like a banner)
If this war (like a banner) is never ending (like a banner)
I'll take this love (like a banner) down with me
