Flag Burner, Torch Bearer Lyrics


Rise up, spirit of my ancestry

and fill me with vigilance again.

No longer will we watch from our posts,

torches of war burn this eve.

For those who possess undue power,

they lurk in our midst with innocent

blood staining their sleeves.

Their slaves labor away into nothingness,

lost in the abyss of factories.

The gods are replaced with commodities

unfit to occupy their thrones.

Their rightful place,

we bow our heads to mere currency.

Our apathy allows capitalism to enslave,

to enslave, enslave!

The price of our freedom

is the essence of our slavery,

the master I've served

will never repay me.

There's poison in the communion wine,

and in this theocracy we will all die.

Worship false idols, currency in our veins,

the bow breaks in this ship of fools.

Capitalism enslaves,

paid in blood, paid in blood!

Tonight all flags must

burn in a place of steeples.

Autonomy must return into

the hands of the people.

This is war on our oppressors!

The concept of nationalism

robs us of our very nature,

destroys our tribes and torn

apart our families.

Gagged and bound we slit

the throat of the henchman

then laugh at the contradiction.

Laugh at the contradiction...

Falsify our inspiration,

numbed by media, the tools

for complacency market

our fucking rebellion.

Behold the chains of profit,

there is nothing sacred.

We are convinced that we are free

because we are not starving.

But our souls starve for something else

than profits and convenience.

We starve for the truth,

we starve for earth.

We starve for freedom

and untainted skies.

How long will we swallow

the shit that they feed us?

How long will they rape our

ears with their lies?

I will not surrender my

heart to anyone but me.

There are just a few

things that I believe:

That people are born free

and slavery is murder,

that their property is theft,

and government is tyranny.

Anarchy is liberty....

Liberation!

Tonight all flags must

burn in a place of steeples.

Autonomy must return into

the hands of the people!
