A year in the hole had taken its toll
When I took a good look at me
And what a surprise
The scope of my eyes could only see black

And I remember someone who was taking them two by two
And lately I'd become the one who'd have laughed at you too

There was a black flag on my morning
There was a black flag on my day
There was a black flag on everything around
And I was walking backwards again
Black flag
Black flag

I walked in the day my usual way
Looking through a 2X4
It colored my view, I couldn't see you
Or maybe I just wouldn't

And I remember the time when the sunlight fell on my head
And lately I'd become a member of the walking dead

There was a black flag on my morning
There was a black flag on my day
There was a black flag on everything around
And I was walking backwards again
And I know that I was wrong
It was up to me
If I wanted to see

And I remember the day when I saw the mask on my face
And I knew that it was time to put the thing in its place

I'd put the black flag on my morning
I'd put the black flag on my day
I'd put the black flag on everything around
And I was walking backwards again

Black flag, on my morning
Black flag, black flag, on my day
I'd put the black flag on everything around
And I was walking backwards again

Black flag, on my morning
Black flag, black flag, on my day
I'd put the black flag on everything around
And I was walking backwards again

It was up to me
And I know that I was wrong
