Anti-War

[Verse 1] Mother keeps a candle by the window Father reads the names out from the page Children draw the sun above the ruins Trying to color out the rage They told us there was glory in the marching They told us there was honor in the gun But I have never seen a crown worth wearing If it weighs more than a son [Pre-Chorus] And the sky keeps turning gray While the old men look away But we are not too young to say [Chorus] No more flags to bury No more sons to carry No more hymns for broken homes tonight No more hearts divided No more truth denied it We were born to live, not born to fight So let the drums stop rolling Let the guns fall silent Let the morning bring us back the light No more flags to bury tonight [Verse 2] Sisters write their prayers across the pavement Brothers learn to sleep through every sound Every border drawn by shaking fingers Leaves another body on the ground You can call it freedom from a distance You can sell the lie on every screen But no one wins a war inside a graveyard No one wakes up from that dream [Pre-Chorus] And the world keeps spinning on While the innocent are gone But we can still refuse the song [Chorus] No more flags to bury No more sons to carry No more hymns for broken homes tonight No more hearts divided No more truth denied it We were born to live, not born to fight So let the drums stop rolling Let the guns fall silent Let the morning bring us back the light No more flags to bury tonight [Bridge] All we are asking Is room to breathe A hand to hold A child to dream All we are saying Across the sea Is love should never Need a victory [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] No more flags to bury No more sons to carry No more hymns for broken homes tonight No more mothers crying No more young men dying We were born to live, not born to fight So let the bells start ringing Let the whole world hear it Let the morning break the longest night No more flags to bury No more flags to bury No more flags to bury tonight [Outro]
