Banners over us

Marry a love they say.
Bury your dead they say.
Carry a name they say.
Carry it to your grave they say.
And if no one is there on the other side,
when we all arrive at that place when we die…
we've done alright.
Marry the ground they say.
Bury them not to escape.
Carry not a single thing,
but his banner over you,
his banner over me.
And if no one is there on the other side
when we all arrive at the place when we die…
we've conquered time.
