Drive-By Truckers - Darkened Flags On The Cusp Of Dawn lyrics

The darkest nights we look upon They smolder on the lawn What we smite and bathe in light and where we crawl out from Draw the blood, accept the stain Everyone looks upon Darkened flags on the cusp of dawn We should light out for the trees or the great beyond Light out for the love of thee, we build our lives upon Cast aside the hurtful things that bear the fruit of scorn Darkened flags on the cusp of dawn So you've moved out from the city to horizons stretched out far Beyond the pains and the reach of plane, chasing distant stars The baggage that you take defines the things that you become Darkened flags on the cusp of dawn
