Текст песни: White Flag + перевод

White flag, it was a good run while it lasted

The soft earth that caught me so many times before, hit me like a cement wall,

broke every bone of hope in my body, the truth revealed itself to me like the

captain of a sinking ship

Though vultures circle over me, though wolves nipped at my feet,

I was too blind to see, too deaf to hear the funeral horns ringing in my ears,

for years, I refused to see the procession trailing on my feet

It takes a strong man to keep on fighting, & a smarter one to admit his defeats,

but I was neither of these. Too stubborn to fold, knew not of a retreat,

when I led my horses to water, I drowned everyone that wouldn’t drink

What if everything you thought was gold turned to bronze beneath your feet?

My every foundation built on crumbling sand. Turns out Eden was a dry and

deserted land, and that beauty in the distance, a plundering harlot who robbed

me blind when I reached her thieving hands

So, go on and tell me that you told me so. Who needs another’s wisdom when

you’ve got so much of your own? It’s like comparing a bee sting to a knife in

your chest. Just keep a smile on the outside while I’m burning up within

And I’ll just carry on like the oblivious do

In the bliss of sweet ignorance, I’ll carry on
