Oh the flags they are flying,
All around the crystal water.
And I know that time has changed them,
But has never cause to falter.

Flags never tumble down, always there to lead,
And as long as we, have a reason why.
And I know this time it's true,
And I know this time it's you.

Oh then tell your story to a child,
All the tainted dreams of glory.
You could see it written in his eyes,
But it's too late for him to turn back.

Flags used to mean so much. Even though you're down,
Raise your glasses up, keep your spirits high.
And I know this time it's true,
And I know this time it's you.

Oh where is the cross of morning,
And the spirit ties that bind you?
Through the empty streets he wanders,
But nobody cares to find him.

Flags always there to win. Even though it's lost,
Can you tell to him, what's the reason why?
And I know this time it's true,
And I know this time (this time) it's you.
