White Flag - Wouldn't it be great if it were so! - Hive open Mic week 158 - Defeat the Distance

The song
A song about the human need for the end of all war

The lyrics

Johnny’s a patriot
With a trigger to pull
The glorious call to arms is like
Red rag to a bull

With a flag of convenience
Riding high on the wind
To die for a country was an honourable thing

Corruption is generous
With a fist in a glove
Loaded with the kind of fear to make us, kill the things we love
There’s one revolution
One war to be won
By the line of least resistance
We can make two colours run

When the White Flag Flies
Don’t mean surrender
When the white dove flies
To the heart of the avenger
We can shatter the myth of pride
Tear down the great divide
Stand in a new sunrise
When the White Flag flies

For many the bells toll
Across the hills and the vales
How black is the banner
On your ship as it sails
Will illusions be shattered
When the moment is near
With the blessing of the sovereign
Will your conscience be clear
Hear the drums in the distance
Pound and beat
With the power of enlightenment
There can be no defeat

When the White Flag Flies
Don’t mean surrender
When the white dove flies
To the heart of the avenger
We can shatter the myth of pride
Tear down the great divide
Stand in a new sunrise
When the White Flag flies
