Lyrics
Rising Black Flags
Churches and monasteries shutting their doors
Rising black flags throughout city walls
Ring their bells in sign of mourning
Knowing that Pope himself is coming
Obedience, conformity
Terrorization of society
Authority, domination
Punishment of control
Praying from sunset to dawn
Asking God for his help
To prevent Pope from overtaking our land
Protect our people, protect our fate
Save our lives from Vatican’s invade
Rising black flags
Wherever he goes, brings death
With blood spreads Christian faith
Rapes spirits from human lives
Forces blind fate into hearts
Praying from sunset to dawn
Asking God for his help
To prevent Pope from overtaking our land
Protect our people, protect our fate
Save our lives from Vatican’s invade
Rising black flags
Pope thinks he presides in place of God
Imagining that he is superior to the rest of us
Declaring his righteous words of heaven
Revised trinity to strengthen hierarchy order
