Is this the ending of the rage against the night
Is this the norm by which you measure all your guilt
Are we accomplices in this destruction of our selves
Let demons reign over your days

However vigilant against the ignorant
The darkness calls for blood to be spilt
You are oblivious
The oncoming tide will wash away the dying and the dead

You curse the altar
On this day of your sacrifice
Your will and integrity
Upon the stones now lie

No mercy, no reprieve
It all goes down tonight
You resign from your truth and honor
Under the cloud of chaos
No mercy, no reprieve
It all goes down tonight
Begin the slaughter
Under the blood-red banner

You fly the flag
The blood-red banner
You fly the flag

It's undeniable
Whatever storm comes crashing down
It will be justified
For in the end your flesh is weak
You'll never bite the bloodied hand that feeds

Forget that freedom for you are bought and sold
Upon the stones
Under the blood-red banner

You fly the flag
The blood-red banner
You fly the flag
The blood-red banner

You curse the altar
On this day of your sacrifice
Your will and integrity
Upon the stones now lie
No mercy, no reprieve
It all goes down tonight
You resign from your truth and honor
Under the cloud of chaos
No mercy, no reprieve
It all goes down tonight
Begin the slaughter
Under the blood-red banner

You fly the flag
The blood-red banner
You fly the flag
The blood-red banner
