A year in the hole had taken its toll
  When I took a good look at me
  And what a surprise the scope of my eyes could only see black
  And I remember someone who was taking them two by two
  And lately I'd become the one who'd have laughed at you too!
  There was a Black Flag on my morning
  There was a Black Flag on my day
  There was a Black Flag on everything around and I was walking backwards again
  I walked in the day, my usual way, looking through a two by four
  It colored my view, I couldn't see you
  Or maybe I just wouldn't
  And I remember the time when the sunlight fell on my head
  And lately I'd become a member of the walking dead
  And I know that I was wrong
  It was up to me if I wanted to see
  And I remember the day when I saw the mask on my face
  And I knew that it was time to put the thing in its place
  I'd put the Black Flag on my morning
  I'd put the Black Flag on my day
  I'd put the Black Flag on everything around and I was walking backwards again
  And I know that I was wrong
