Under Black Flags We March Lyrics

Your hate is our trigger
Revolution now
The more we have to suffer
The more we will fight

With our fist up in the air!

Legions marching
Ready to fire
These streets will burn
Let the black flag rise

Legions marching
Ready to fire
Empires of corruption
Crash and fall

Under black flags we march

The voice of rebellion
Calls your name
Servants of the truth
Are standing tall

With our fist up in the air!

Legions marching
Ready to fire
These streets will burn
Let the black flag rise

Legions marching
Ready to fire
Empires of corruption
Crash and fall

Legions marching
Ready to fire
These streets will burn
Let the black flag rise

Legions marching
Ready to fire
Empires of corruption
Crash and...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The song is about a rebellious group that is motivated by the hatred of their oppressors to start a revolution. They are ready to fight and resist with courage and solidarity. They raise their fists and black flags as symbols of their defiance and anarchy. They march through the streets, setting them on fire and attacking the corrupt empires that have exploited them. They call on others to join their cause and stand for the truth.
