So I put a new song up on the blog. Please take a listen to it, the song is called The Flags of Dawn by Thrice, which happens to be my favorite band right now. Sorry not Our Lady Peace or Smashing Pumpkins.
This song was a b-side and is not on the album Vheissu, but it is one of the best songs that they have ever done. It is debated what the song is actually about. I know that a lot of Thrice songs have biblical references, and this song seems to be a song about hope or the return of God, but that is what I took. I managed to find it today, and decided to share it with all my readers.
PLEASE tell me what you think of the song, or if you can hear it.

It should be to your
this darkness would
eclipse our will
a cold wind blows
across these hills
a swinging gaze
from a hangman's tree
a crow's nest view
of what's left to see
the light that's formed
of saints return the silence to the snow
still beneath the craters waiting
for this time to grow
so hold on
hold tight
open daylight
we will overcome
so put away your fear
the morning star will soon appear
and bring an end
to this dark night
and we must run if we're to meet the light
watered by the blood of martyrs
blessed and blind as sons and daughters
sleep with one eye open
and live with both eyes shut
so let's find the place where sight begins
and see the things that we saw when our
eyes were bright and wet against the light
and hold on
hold tight
open daylight
we will overcome
open your eyes
over the new sight
fly the flags of dawn
eclipse our will
a cold wind blows
across these hills
a swinging gaze
from a hangman's tree
a crow's nest view
of what's left to see
the light that's formed
of saints return the silence to the snow
still beneath the craters waiting
for this time to grow
so hold on
hold tight
open daylight
we will overcome
so put away your fear
the morning star will soon appear
and bring an end

and we must run if we're to meet the light
watered by the blood of martyrs
blessed and blind as sons and daughters
sleep with one eye open

eyes were bright and wet against the light
and hold on
hold tight
open daylight
we will overcome
open your eyes
over the new sight
fly the flags of dawn

By left, I assume you ment right.. I liked the meaning behind the song, although to me the chorus could use some work. It just isnt catchy to me.
I want the Clean Flix version
And the winner for the best responce ever goes to!...
Bacardi Limon for "The Flags of Dawn"!
***Goes ape crazy***
I would love to hold up my lighter to Thrice (as i have and will do in the future) but that song is not impressive. Sorry dude there were four of us that listened to it... the verdicts all came back the same- crap. But thats good cause if everthing they put out was excelent than i would questiong their sexuality.
To Anonymous:
Thanks for the comment. Who are you?
I like Thrice regardless. I'm in a phase where I like that stuff.
I enjoyed it thoroughly.
