Jahn - The Ides

Trust the flag with a terrible deal
It’s driving you hard over the hill
It’s pushing you to a certain ugly truth

So lift high that flag you believe in
Taunting you snapping into the waves
It’s leading you into a terrified bombing raid

It’s a raging torrent throwing you down to the earth
Oh loyalty it’s such a dirty word
You can measure your pain here by degrees
Oh sympathy is such a dirty word
You’ve left behind the blind asking the blind

Diving down to your bleached possessions
No idea of what you’ve hidden here
A sailor of your twisted night
broken by your twisted stare

So return to your careful crawling
You tell yourself there’s an easier way
But you can’t tell your friend from foe
There’s no escape from your poison airs

It’s a raging torrent throwing you down to the earth
Oh sympathy it’s such a dirty word
You can measure your pain here by degrees
Oh gratitude is such a dirty word
You’ve left behind the blind asking the blind

There’s no feeling without meaning in the end
I have possession in the end
I have the passion in the end (in the end)

Diving down to your bleached possessions
No idea of what you’ve hidden here
A sailor of your twisted night
broken by your twisted stare

Oh loyalty is such a dirty word
You can measure your pain here by degrees
Oh sympathy is such a dirty word
You’ve left behind the blind asking the blind
