[Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Rust on the flag Blood in the well You dress it up and you call it "order" Hands on the throat Grin as we yell You feed us lies We pay your mortgage Rust on the flag Stain on the vow You burn the bridge Then make us drown Rust on the flag We see you now [Outro] [Riff slows Drums pound] Tick… tick… Hear that sound? (hey!) That’s every promise Crashing down Rust on the flag Tearing the crown Rust on the flag We drag you down
