[Verse 1]
The darkest night we look upon, they smolder on the lawn
What we smite and bathe in light and where we crawl out from
Draw the blood, accept the stain everyone looks upon
Darkened flags on the cusp of dawn

[Verse 2]
We should light out for the trees or the great beyond
Light out for the love of thee we build our lives upon
Cast aside the hurtful things that bear the fruit of scorn
Darkened flags on the cusp of dawn

[Verse 3]
So you’ve moved out from the city to horizons stretched out far
Beyond the pains and the reach of planes, chasing distant stars
The baggage that you take defines the things that you become
Darkened flags on the cusp of dawn
