The Flag Songtext
von Douglas Kay

The flag blows, As the darkness stretches out and yawns,
The night grows, And will keep us company,
Until the dawn.

And the dry grass waits the spark
To illuminate the dark
And clean things up again.

The hill flames, As the truck just rattles down the road,
And old names, Are just burned away, burned away, burned away,
Like paper scrolls.


And the dry grass waits the spark
To illuminate the dark
And clean things up again.

You say we will stand to defend this land,
You say we must stand to defend this land,
But why should we stand to defend this land
(It′s just the place that I was laid on),
But I know we'll stand to defend this land,
And clean things up again.

The flag blows, As the darkness stretches out and yawns.
