about

A lament

lyrics

The faithful bow and take a breath,
surrender to their higher power
but the flag is too close to the cross
We're grateful for a willing death,
remember where our freedom comes from
but the flag is too close to the cross


Bridge:
Come all you poor and wretched and tempest-tossed
You will find rest if you're tired and a home if you're lost

The faithful pledge their very lives
Our hearts and souls and minds are all in
but the flag is too close to the cross
Well, some will stand and some will cry,
devoted to this empire kingdom
but the flag is too close to the cross

Amazing grace, how sweet the pow’r
We thank the one that we belong to
but the flag is too close to the cross
We cast our vote, we stay an hour,
look at the thing we sing our song to
but the flag is too close to the cross
