[Intro]
Ash in the air
Teeth full of grit
Hands still shaking
But I won’t quit (nah)
[Verse 1]
Broken armor
Dented crown
Blood in the dust
I won’t stay down
Every scar on my skin
That’s a dead man’s map
Every loss, every sin
Turned to steel in my hands when it snapped
They wrote my ending
In a stranger’s ink
But I burn those pages
Just to watch ’em shrink
[Chorus]
The flag still stands
Through fire, through damage
Ripped at the edges
Still above the wreckage
The flag still stands
You can bury my name
But the cloth, but the cause
Outlives my pain
The flag still stands
Yeah, the flag still stands
[Verse 2]
Voices in the smoke
Say “lay down now”
I bite through the choke
Spit “never bow”
If the sky falls hard
It can fall on me
I was built from the parts
That refused to flee
I got dirt in my teeth
But my jaw locked tight
If I lose this ground
I still keep my fight
[Chorus]
The flag still stands
Through fire, through damage
Ripped at the edges
Still above the wreckage
The flag still stands
You can bury my name
But the cloth, but the cause
Outlives my pain
The flag still stands
Yeah, the flag still stands
[Bridge]
What if all this hurt
Was a kind of light?
What if all these ghosts
March by my side?
If my knees hit stone
I rise like a storm
Every time I break
I come back reborn (hey!)
[Chorus]
The flag still stands
Through fire, through damage
Ripped at the edges
Still above the wreckage
The flag still stands
You can bury my name
But the cloth, but the cause
Outlives my pain
The flag still stands
Yeah, the flag still stands
The flag still stands
The flag still stands
