Ah, the morning rose The Sun exposed The hell that was the day As our ship struck ground With a mighty sound We were crushed like lifeless souls And our hearts, they sank With each wave they crashed Another life to mourn For the new black flag Is the same old flag We've all seen raised before In the middle of hope and glory To the fields of love and hate There's a boy with his toy soldiers Playing war in a boyish way Hear the message, pay the piper To a land where all is safe Cross the bridge without a border Lost forever, somehow we were Crushed, crushed Seven long days is a lifetime We were (hushed, hushed) SongtexteUnder the black flag, same as the old flag Livin' in a world full of hostile nations John he wrote in the beginning But the word was not the word I can claim to be the father Just the son of a human birth Kill the septic, build a lifeline Kiss the face of the lost and lonely Locking arms around the factory Breaking bones is all we are now Crushed, crushed Seven long days is a lifetime We were (hushed, hushed) Under the black flag, same as the old flag Livin' in a world full of hostile nations Livin' in a world Livin' in a world full of hostile Livin' in a world Livin' in a world full of hostile Livin' in a world Livin' in a world full of hostile nations Oh my God, what have we done here? Oh my God, are you still real? Oh my God, your cross looks broken Like the face in your imagery Hear the message, pay the piper To the land where all is safe Where the devils and the angels Sing together on and we were Crushed, crushed Seven long days is a lifetime We were (hushed, hushed) Under the black flag, same as the old flag Livin' in a world full of hostile nations Crushed, crushed Seven long days is a lifetime We were (hushed, hushed) Under the black flag, same as the old flag Livin' in a world full of hostile nations Livin' in a world Livin' in a world full of hostile nations Aus Songtexte Mania
