Lyrics

As the morning rose The sun exposed The hell that was the day As our ships dropped 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 Took the field of love and hate There's a boy with his toy soldiers Playing war in a boyish way Hear the message Play the piper To a land where all is safe Cross a bridge without a border Lost forever somehow we were Crushed, crushed 7 long days is a lifetime we were Crushed (under the black flag), crushed (same as the old flag) Living in a world full of hostile nations Johnny wrote in the beginning But the word was not the word I don't claim to be the father Just the son of a human birth Kill the septic In the lifeline Is the face of the lost and lonely Turn their arms around the fractured Broken bones is all we had Crushed, crushed 7 long days is a lifetime we were Crushed (under the black flag), crushed (same as the old flag) Living in a world full of hostile nations Living in a world Living in a world full of hostile Living in a world Living in a world full of hostile Living in a world Living 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 Hear the piper To a land where all is safe Where the devils And the angels sing together all and we were Crushed, crushed 7 long days is a lifetime we were Crushed (under the black flag), crushed (same as the old flag) Living in a world full of hostile nations Crushed, crushed 7 long days is a lifetime we were Crushed (under the black flag), crushed (same as the old flag) Living in a world full of hostile nations Living in a world Living in a world full of hostile nations
