"Dark Flag" lyrics

"Dark Flag"

I looked into darkness too long, now it stares back!
I looked into darkness, now it stares back
I looked into darkness, now it stares back

Welcome to the inside, the worlds largest prison
Where the only way out is six feet deep

Forced to fear, by burden of indoctrination
A weight upon their eyelids
Asleep to the outside
The apotheosis of madness, paints red a nation
Free will is a death sentence
There's no salvation

Mourn when I say mourn
Or make your graves with the resistance
Bow when I say bow
Or fade in the vacuum of non-existence
Dark flag: The insurmountable curtain
Dark flag: How can we be found?

When light can't reach into shadow
How can we be found?
When light can't reach into me
It's trapped in-between
Hell and myself

With the teachings of the great leader; we pledge
We oath to hold our guns to defend the state; we pledge

Mourn when I say mourn
Or make your grave with the resistance
Bow when I say bow
Or fade in the vacuum of non-existence
Dark flag: The insurmountable curtain
Dark flag: How can we be found?

When paranoia runs rampant as hunger
Welcome to the inside
Drowning articulation
Welcome to the inside
It feels like madness
With no end in sight
Welcome to the inside
How can we be found?

When light can't reach into shadow
How can we be found?
When light can't reach into shadow
How can we be found?
When light can't reach into me
It's trapped in-between
Hell and myself

Shrouded in shadow, they threw away the key
I looked into darkness, now it stares back at me
The only way out is six feet deep
Six feet deep
Dark flag: how can we be found?
Dark flag: burn it to the ground
