Oh, Sleeper - Let It Wave

[Verse 1] A step in the heat's worth 10 in the shade I tell you son, you've gotta back up your claims You're walking the beat 'tween damage and hate But no one's buying 'cause you dance all the same It's time to gut up, sever ties to comfort You need to walk in the heat of their day [Pre-Chorus] If all your heroes are martyrs Shouldn't you be the same? [Chorus] This flag is more than a symbol It means more than a song I live to die in its shadow Until that day I pierce the ground And let it wave, let it wave Let my banner dance in the wind and fade Let it wave, let it wave You'll find my name on an empty grave [Verse 2] I can't believe that after everything you asked for Upon delivery you upturn your nose Looking out like you deserve something more than failure You know you gave up, don't act like I don't know No sour soil spoiled you child Just your chosen lack of drive to grow [Pre-Chorus] If all your heroes are martyrs Shouldn't you be the same? Shouldn't you be the same? Shouldn't you be the same? [Chorus] This flag is more than a symbol It means more than a song I live to die in its shadow Until that day I pierce the ground And let it wave I pierce the ground And let it wave, let it wave Let my banner dance in the wind and fade Let it wave, let it wave No stories told from a flawless blade So you're gonna find my name on an empty grave
