[Intro]
Broken statues
Burned-out signs
Gold gates blackened
Morning light

[Verse 1]
They enter from the eastern road
With water drums and winter coats
Nurses, drivers, laid-off crews
Children carrying cardboard news
No matching shirts, no ordered lines
No leader walking out in front
Pale cloth strips on sleeves and bags
Names of prisoners on the walls

[Pre-Chorus]
A loudspeaker above the square
Declares the gathering illegal
Mara lifts the cracked megaphone
Her voice is tired, clear and level

[Chorus]
No flags for the broken
No kings for the poor
No anthem can cover
What you did behind these doors
No flags for the broken
No borrowed hate anymore
We stand for one another
That is all we’re standing for

[Verse 2]
Behind the barricades they wait
Blue visors at the golden gate
Eli recognizes fear
Inside the youngest officer there
Tom hears voices call for stones
He turns and shouts, “Protect the homes”
Nadia opens food beside
The monument where banners died

[Pre-Chorus]
The square becomes a kitchen first
Then clinic, shelter, witness post
The strongest answer they can give
Is proving people keep people alive

[Chorus]
No flags for the broken
No kings for the poor
No anthem can cover
What you did behind these doors
No flags for the broken
No borrowed hate anymore
We stand for one another
That is all we’re standing for

[Guitar Solo]
A defiant melodic lead rises from the central chorus motif

[Bridge]
The order comes to clear the square
The police line starts to move
Eli walks alone halfway
Then lays his service medals down
He says, “I wore your colours once
I know the cost behind command
You can step across these names
But you will see them where you stand”

[Breakdown]
Your war—our graves
Your wealth—our pain
Your fear—our chains
Not again

No gods
No crowns
No borrowed hate
No one left outside the gate

[Build-up]
Mara raises the blank cloth high
Not above them—at their side
A thousand hands refuse the stones
A thousand voices make one sound

[Final Chorus]
No flags for the broken
No kings for the poor
No anthem can cover
What you did behind these doors
No flags for the broken
No border owns our care
We stand for one another
Because no one else stood there

No flags for the broken
No party owns this square
No leader speaks above us
Every voice must meet the air
No flags for the broken
Still wounded, still unsure
We stand for one another
That is all we’re standing for

[Climax]
We were never weak—only divided
We were never gone—only hidden
Your war, our graves
Your walls, our names
No flags for the broken
Not again

[Outro]
The police line does not vanish
The golden buildings do not fall
But one shield lowers
Then another
And the square belongs to no one
Because the square belongs to all
