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 nothin' 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 this 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 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 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
