Lights - Banner Lyrics

Maybe it's bricks and mortar now
Whether or not they run it down
I don't want anything to shake that shape away
No one told us which way to come
Nobody mapped oblivion
So, I go growing roses in the disarray

Just like most
Falling head in
'Til my ghost fills the bed in

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

(Like a banner)
(Like a banner)

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

Not the sorceress
Not the money
All my cleverness
All my cunning

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

(Like a banner)
(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 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 like a banner

So lift up like a banner (like a banner)
Hold it up over me (hold it 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) like a banner
Hold it up (like a banner) over me
if this war like a banner) is never-ending like a banner)
I'll take this love like a banner) down with me
