The Standard's Silence lyrics

Beneath the nation's standard

In silent shared reverence

Intimate moments shared

Its snapping, spinning furls

Swept by breeze's broom

The slipping and popping

A respectful reserved rapport

To touch the lightened mast

A moment's tactile communing

Reaffirming those reasons

Of their sacrifices made

That stay in every breath

Even in the banner's lull

In every shine or shower

Symbol of freedom's might

That cannot be destroyed

The fleeting misunderstand

Beyond the ignorance of man

Beyond the shadow of tyrants

Of hatred's choking blanket

And the shrouds of genocide

Yes, even in smiles or sorrow

Or chronic aches and pains

Through trials and tribulations

And on that final rite's salute

Cloaked in farewell parting

Earned by those who once were

And always will ever be

Freedom always reigns
