Blinded By Stars

Blinded by Stars

My blood does remember the rhythm of a drum
Beat by a boy soldier whose revolution won
I ve carried pretty flowers to fallen heroes graves
& stood in silence honoring the price our fathers paid

This was their flag but this ain t their fight
Dirty with oil tattered by spite
This was their flag but this ain t their fight

So what do you call justice & what is freedom for
Don t let the towncrier decide if we go to war
Cos this ain t about your medla
The choice is of the soul
& hate is never brave while mercy s always, always sold

Blinded by stars tangled in stripes
This is our flag but this ain t our fight
Dirty with oil tattered by spite
This is our flag but this ain t our fight
This is my flag but this ain t my fight

Now I was born a rebel, I question what I m told
No wonder this young skin I m wearin
Feels so old

Don t be blinded by stars tangled in stripes
This is our flag but this ain t our fight
Dirty with oil tattered by spite
This is our flag but this ain t our fight
This I s my flag but this ain t my fight
