An outtake from the Black Sails in the Sunset album sessions, “Lower It” appears as both a bonus track on the LP album release as well as on the eponymous AFI compilation in 2004. The lyrics are written by frontman Davey Havok as per usual, however they reveal much more personal and vitriolic lyrics...
[Verse 1: Davey Havok]
An invitation
Excluding no one
So you walk right in and destroy the fucking place
You've lost your right to be
Part of my family
The family that welcomed you
You joined, and left in disgrace
[Chorus]
Your flag was flaming (was flaming)
Your flag was flaming before it ever started flying
Your flag was burning
Was burning down
Everyone in true salute
[Verse 2: Davey Havok]
Sense of commitment
A sense of pride
I heard you say that we shared a destiny
Now it is plain to see
You've got no sense at all
The name that once honored you
Disgraced and made a mockery
[Chorus]
Your flag was flaming (was flaming)
Your flag was flaming before it ever started flying
Your flag was burning
Was burning down
Everyone in true salute
[Bridge]
I could always see
I could always see the smoke from miles away
I could always see the weakness in your eyes
Far away I feel the lies while the sky is burning
[Chorus]
Your flag was flaming (was flaming)
Your flag was flaming before it ever started flying
Your flag was burning
Was burning down
Raise your hands in true salute
[Verse 4: Davey Havok]
You will always be
Unwanted
Unwanted
You will always be
Unwanted
Unwanted
Unwanted
