Black Flag Exposition Lyrics

We were so close, there was no room
We bled inside each others wounds
We all caught the same disease
We all sang the songs of peace

Some came to sing, some came to pray
Some came to keep the night away

So lay your candles high
So we will not stand black against the night

Lay Down
Lay Down

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
