Battle Flag
Unveiling the Twisted Allegory: Battle Flag by PilGrims in ProGress
Lyrics
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
Disregard the hidden manipulator orchestrating events.
Pulling on those levers and those chains
Manipulating controls and influencing outcomes.
Forget about those truths you once thought were certain
Abandon beliefs once considered absolute.
Let the wizard take away your pains
Allow the deceptive authority to alleviate your sufferings.
A twisted cross
Symbolic reference to a corrupted or perverted symbol.
Of fallen stars
Representation of fallen, corrupted individuals or ideals.
You're not the legion
You don't embody the united force you profess to be.
You claim you are
Challenging the legitimacy of claimed allegiance.
You and your Battle Flag
Repetition emphasizes the association with a divisive symbol.
You and your Battle Flag
-You and your Battle Flag
-You now know more than you ever did before
Increased knowledge leads to susceptibility to falsehoods.
That's why you believe any old white lie
Belief in unfounded claims due to heightened awareness.
Spread by winged monkeys bound to settle some score
Falsehoods perpetuated by minions seeking retribution.
It's so easy to be dissatisfied
Ease of discontentment in a complex world.
A twisted cross
Continued reference to a corrupted or perverted symbol.
Of fallen stars
Reiteration of fallen, corrupted individuals or ideals.
You're not the legion
Challenge to the legitimacy of claimed allegiance persists.
You claim you are
Questioning the proclaimed unity and strength.
You and your Battle Flag
Reiteration underscores the negative association with the symbol.
You and your Battle Flag
-You and your Battle Flag
-Yours is not a flag of courage or tradition
The symbol represents neither bravery nor heritage.
Nor is there a heart in your rebel yell
No sincerity in the rebellious cry; lacking genuine emotion.
Yours is a flag of hatred and sedition
Symbolizes a flag of hostility and rebellion against authority.
Of a scarecrow nation on the road to hell
Portrayal of a nation heading towards chaos and destruction.
