Gold Fringed Flag - Merry Time Lulz (4. False Flags)

They lurk in shadows, bide their time, their cunning plan unfolds The flags of nations flutter high, their true intents untold As they approach the merchant ship, they feign a good intent, But strafe around the ocean waves until their cannons are all spent

By dawn the flags are swapped again, a different standard flies
The pirates laugh and cheer their win, beneath the crimson skies

[Chorus]
False flags, deceptive sight
Prowling through the darkest night
With borrowed banners they deceive
In the storm of lies, it’s hard to believe

False flag, the tricksters' art
In the open waters, lying from the start
False flags the game is clear,
Leave a strong impression and then.
just.. disappear,

[Verse]
With borrowed colors flying fast, they stoke a racial fight
For every cannon fired hard, they pull other
Nations
Into
The
Fight!
Under the flags of innocent hue, they sail with hearts of steel
With every stroke and every turn, their wicked minds conceal
Across the mighty open seas, deception in their wake
With colors of another land, they strike and
Devastate!

[Drop]
[Guitar Solo]

With eyes wide from the deadly siege, survivors wash ashore
They swear upon the heavens, a nation brought them war!
The flag they saw, the meaning clear, flew in an enemy's hand
They gossip loud from every port: "it was that nation's grandest stand!"

With broken ships, the flame ignites, beneath the billowed sails A nation's wrath, like tidal waves, calls forth the stormy gales

In parliament, the call to arms, decisions made in haste
With every tale, the fervor grows, no time to think or waste
[Chorus]
The ghostly hulk beneath the sea, becomes a rallying cry
From parliament to battlegrounds, the warships multiply
With banners high and hearts on fire, they sail into the fray
To right the wrongs of pirate schemes, and wash the sins away
