See the banners fall
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All the worlds a stage, they say
But, who decides the parts we play?
A mourner in the lebanon
A logger in the amazon
Soldiers in the square of shame
Our children play in acid rain
They won't pay a martyr's bail
Black fella in a white man's jail
See the banners fall
See the banners fall
Hear the future call
Time to start again
They're dancing on the wall
Can you hear them call
See the banners fall
The colonel wears pierre cardin
But clothes don't always make the man
The teacher preaches what he's told
But can the preacher save your soul
See the banners fall
Hear the future call
Time to start again
(Dancing on the wall) they're dancing on the wall
Can you hear them call
(See the banners fall) see the banners fall
See the banners fall
Hear the future call
Time to start again
(They're dancing on the wall) they're dancing on the wall
Can you hear them call
(See the banners fall) see the banners fall
Eagles in a sea of oil
Noble men on barren soil
Children waiting in the wing's
Wonder what the future brings
See the banners fall
Hear the future call
Time to start again
They're dancing on the wall
(Can you hear them call) can you hear them call
See the banners fall
See the banners fall
Hear the future call
Time to start again
They're dancing on the wall
Can you hear them call
See the banners fall
See the banners fall
Hear the future call
Time to start again (time to start again)
They're dancing on the wall
Can you hear them call
See the banners fall
