No Flag (feat. Amani Kerr)

Before you, they've come and gone

Lived in the darkest hour too long

Now you flames, oh, you flames, I call you

Fight for dawn

I am rich and poor and everything in between

I am familiar, I'm like nothing you ever seen

The quiet one, but they never call me silent

The one who's loud with the tendency to turn violent

Sane and level-headed, I border on insanity

'Cause I'm failed by human beings but have faith in humanity

I am many, but I am one

United by a heart of fire to shame the sun

Trained to see difference, remain blind to diversity

Forced to embrace the majority by the whip of conformity

Commanded to be strong, 'cause it's that or you're weak

Conquest and safety are the things I must seek

Try being compassionate, kind, and giving, also nicely asked of me

Gather a ton of firewood, try not cutting down a tree

Through the symphony of slavery, I heard the world's sorrow

Now I dream of freedom as I think of tomorrow

Before you, they've come and gone

Lived in the darkest hour too long

Now you flames, oh, you flames, I call you

Fight for the dawn

Fight for the

Flashes litter the night sky of our histories

I gaze at constellations of well-fought victories

Their permanence marred by generations ignoring that which is true

Orchestrated to a play a tune for the pleasure of a few

Renegade flames condemned to be burns on the stage

A source of inspiration, a source of my rage

Now here we are such flames, answer my call

Become the generation of fire to burn down it all

Flames burn as a fire against the darkness of the human race

Armed on a scale it has never faced

Our swords are forged of compassion, belief is our shield

Drums beat, we make our march to first of many battlefields

Empowered by the knowledge that we'll never win this war

That's why we fight harder, that is why we roar

No surrender, down to the last woman and man

For the generation of fire will leave a legacy that burns brighter than we ever can

Said, brighter

Than we ever can

Now you flames, oh, you flames, I call you

I call you

Fight for the dawn

Fight for the dawn
