Raise the Banner Songtext
von Sea of Treachery

I tried so hard to find solace.
Instead I found discomfort.
I had one chance to learn from
Mistakes I made

One more decision
That will come to haunt me.
Resort to violence
And it will get hard to see

Through the eyes of
An unsuspecting victim.
Blinded by fear
And prejudice.

I failed to see you bleeding
In my foolish state.
I failed to find a problem
In my ignorant stage.


It was such a tragic tale
Of your aggression
That you entrenched yourself
With a gun.

I tried so hard to choose a path,
To make things right and prosperous.

I′ll raise the banner
Against intolerance.
I'll fight against those who
Preach ignorance.

A culture of horrors,
A nation led by fear.
It must cease to be,
Or we are doomed.

We must walk the
Path to enlightenment,
But yet you are so unwilling.

If you don′t give,
If you don't acquiesce;
We are destined,
Destined to repeat our mistakes.
