Levantare Banderas

Jaime Murrell's song 'Levantare Banderas' is a powerful declaration of faith and resistance against the moral and spiritual challenges of the world. The lyrics describe a world 'governed by a tyrant prince,' which can be interpreted as a metaphor for the forces of evil or the societal systems that lead people away from spiritual fulfillment. Murrell speaks of a society that is blinded and losing its way, with people who no longer look up to the heavens for guidance.

The chorus, 'Más yo, levantare banderas hasta que me muera / La bandera de mi cristo me jugare por ella,' translates to 'But I will raise flags until I die / The flag of my Christ, I will play for it.' This is a bold statement of commitment to his faith, indicating that despite the pressures to conform to the ways of the world, he will stand firm and uphold the teachings of Christ. The flag symbolizes his unwavering dedication and the public declaration of his beliefs.

The song also touches on the selfish nature of the world, which 'does not listen and does not look.' Murrell expresses a desire to be the answer and to stand in the way of the enemy, even if it comes at him like a river. This imagery suggests a readiness to face overwhelming opposition in order to live out his faith. 'Levantare Banderas' is not just a personal anthem but a call to others to live courageously and uphold their beliefs in the face of adversity.
