Patti Smith - Broken Flag Lyrics
Nodding tho the lamp's lit low, nod for passers underground.
To and fro she's darning, and the land is weeping red and pale.
Weeping yarn from Algiers. Weeping yarn from Algiers.
Weaving tho the eyes are pale, what will rend will also mend.
For we're marching toward Algiers. For we're marching toward Algiers.
Lullaby tho baby's gone. Lullaby a broken song.
Oh, the cradle was our call. When it rocked we carried on.
And we marched on toward Algiers. For we're marching toward Algiers
We're still marching for Algiers. Marching, marching for Algiers.
Not to hail a barren sky. Sifting cloth is weeping red.
The mourning veil is waving high a field of stars and tears we've shed.
In the sky a broken flag, children wave and raise their arms.
We'll be gone but they'll go on and on and on and on and on.

Broken Flag
Patti Smith
Nodding though the lamp's lit low
Nod for passers underground
To and fro she's darning
And the land is weeping red and pale
Weeping yarn from Algiers
Weeping yarn from Algiers
Weaving though the eyes pale
What will rend will also mend
The sifting cloth is binding
And the dream she weaves will never end
For we're marching toward Algier
For we're marching toward Algier
Lullaby though baby's gone
Lullaby a broken song
Oh, the cradle was our call
When it rocked we carried on
And we marched on toward Algiers
For we're marching toward Algiers
We're still marching for Algiers
For we're marching toward Algier
For we're marching toward Algier
Not to hail a barren sky
The sifting cloth is weeping red
The mourning veil is waving high
A field of stars and tears we've shed
In the sky a broken flag
Choldren wave and raise their arms
We'll be gone but they'll go on and on and on and on and on
Wonderful!
This song is very stirring.
The land is weeping, red and pale. The United States, July 2019. May God Almighty and Patti Smith both help us.

@john grossi Strange that the Rooskies have programmed a 'bot to go sleazing through 2-month-old YouTube comments to find somebody to troll. Getting desperate, there, Vlad?
