→ Rise Against - Architects

Are there no fighters left here anymore?

Are we the generation we've been waiting for?

Or are we patiently burning, waiting to be saved?

Our heroes, our icons have mellowed with age

Following rules that they once disobeyed

They're now being led when they used to lead the way

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before?

(That you stood by before)

Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?

Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate?

(Bricks that seal your fate)

Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

(Go)

They laid out the blueprints

They poured down a base

Concrete solutions to slow our decay

But when they are gone

Who the fuck's gonna take their place?

Yeah, will it be the cynic, the critics galore?

The cliche apathetic, passed out on the floor

The trusting complicit who collectively ignore

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before?

(That you stood by before)

Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?

Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate?

(Bricks that seal your fate)

Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

Don't you remember when you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire?

Somewhere deep down, I know you do

And don't you remember when we were young and we wanted to set the world on fire?

'Cause I still am, and I still do

Make no mistake, we are not afraid

To bear the burden of repeating

What they're thinking anyway

Let's raise the stakes

On the bet we made

Let's decide to be the architects

The masters of our fate

Yeah, we still believe in all the things that we stood by before

(That we stood by before)

And after everything we've seen, there may be even more

I know we're not the only ones and we were not the first

(We were not the first)

And unapologetically we stand behind each word

Falling behind

Song of the day;;

→ Rise Against - Help Is On The Way

I have my mother's dreams

I have my father's eyes

You can't take that from me

Just go ahead and try

The crescent city sleeps

While giants in the sky

Preparing to unleash

Let loose a mighty cry

Can nobody save us?

Will anyone try?

The bayou is burning

The cypress is dying

And all along they're saying

Help is on the way

(They said, they said)

Help is on the way

(They said, they said)

One by land, two by sea

Right there in front of me

Help is on the way

Five thousand feet below

As black smoke engulfs the sky

The ocean floor explodes

Eleven mothers cry

My bones all resonate

A burning lullaby

You can't take that from me

Just go ahead and try

She stands at the shoreline

With hands in the air

Her words pierce the dark night

Does anyone care?

And all along they're saying

Help is on the way

(They said, they said)

Help is on the way

(They said, they said)

One by land, two by sea

Right there in front of me

Help is on the way

Right here, right here

Choking on the black gold

Upon which we rely

We keep axes in the attics

To see cameras in the sky

Help is on the way

(They said, they said)

Help is on the way

(They said, they said)

We were told just to sit tight

'Cause somebody will soon arrive

Help is on the way

But it never came

It never came

Help is on the way

(They said, they said)

Help is on the way

(They said, they said)

One by land, two by sea

Right there in front of me

Help is on the way

On the way

Incomparable

Song of the day;;

→ Rise Against - Satellite

You can't feel the heat until you hold your hand over the flame
You have to cross the line just to remember where it lays
You won't know your worth now, son, until you take a hit
And you won't find the beat until you lose yourself in it

That's why we won't back down
We won't run and hide
Yeah, 'cause these are the things that we can't deny
I'm passing over you like a satellite
So catch me if I fall
That's why we stick to your game plans and party lines
But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
We are the orphans of the American dream
So shine your light on me

You can't fill your cup until you empty all it has
You can't understand what lays ahead
If you don't understand the past
You'll never learn to fly now
'Til you're standing at the cliff
And you can't truly love until you've given up on it

That's why we won't back down
We won't run and hide
Yeah, 'cause these are the things that we can't deny
I'm passing over you like a satellite
So catch me if I fall
That's why we stick to your game plans and party lines
But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
We are the orphans of the American dream
So shine your light on me

She told me that she never could face the world again
So I offered up a plan

We'll sneak out while they sleep
And sail off in the night.
We'll come clean and start over the rest of our lives.
When we're gone we'll stay gone.
Out of sight, out of mind.
It's not too late,
We have the rest of our lives.

The rest of our lives

Because we won't back down
We won't run and hide
Yeah, 'cause these are the things that we can't deny
I'm passing over you like a satellite
So catch me if I fall
That's why we stick to your game plans and party lines
But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
We are the orphans of the American dream
So shine your light on me (shine your light on me)

No, we won't back down
We won't run and hide
Yeah, 'cause these are the things that we can't deny (shine your light on me)
I'm passing over you like a satellite
'Cause these are the things that we can't deny now
This is a life that you can't deny us now

Without you

→ Rise Against - Broken Mirrors

Hey, man now did you hear

Your final days are near?

In a free fall of fire and ice

And explosions in the sky

A fate that we deserve

There's no escape, no

Now it's your turn

Now it's your turn

It's been years

Since our luck ran out and left us here

Like broken mirrors

Ten million shards of glass and tears

But now we are

Awake enough to shatter what we hate

Like broken mirrors

Reflections of an unfamiliar face

Hey, hey

Hey, man, you got the time?

Hey, can I trouble you for a light?

Who, me? No, I'm not the old town crier

I'm the one who sets it all on fire

A fate, yeah, that we deserve

And there's no escape, no

Now it's your turn

Now it's your turn

It's been years

Since our luck ran out and left us here

Like broken mirrors

Ten million shards of glass and tears

But now we are

Awake enough to shatter what we hate

Like broken mirrors

Reflections of an unfamiliar face

We hide from the mirrors

They might show our scars

And hear us

(Go, go, go)

Reflection that we want to be

The people we are (the people we are)

Confront your reflection

Smash what you see

And let's restart

'Cause mirrors can't see our heart

It's been years

Since our luck ran out and left us here

Like broken mirrors

Ten million shards of glass and tears

But now we are

Awake enough to shatter what we hate

Like broken mirrors

Like broken mirrors

Like broken mirrors

Like broken mirrors

Like broken mirrors

Reflections of an unfamiliar face

Call me maybe

Song of the day;;

→ Rise Against - Wait for Me

Do you see the world in different colours?

Do you see the world in black and grey?

Alone in your thoughts

How many others have stood where you stand

Where you stand today?

Have stood where you stand

But, oh, can you

Wait for me now?

To take off this crown

To break all these vows

Don't you know?

Wait for me now

The air's running out

Wait for me, wait for me

Wait for me, wait for me now

A promise of safe return I delivered

But the ocean is wider than I first guessed

When roads disappeared, I followed the rivers

But somehow got in over my head

So a deep breath I'm taking

Wait for me now

To take off this crown

To break all these vows

Don't you know?

Wait for me now

The air's running out

Wait for me, wait for me

Wait for me, wait for me now

A lost dream of what could have been

A house on fire, a tangled web

The key turns to find the locks all changed

In time to hear the back door slam

A sound that to this day I can't forget

The colors drain to black and grey

Wait for me now

Take off this crown

To break all these vows

Don't you know?

Wait for me now

The air's running out

Wait for me, wait for me

Wait for me, wait for me now

Confession (What's inside my head)

Song of the day;;

→ Rise Against - This Is Letting Go

Once upon a time I could take anything, anything

Always stepped in time, regardless of the beat

I moved my feet, I carried weight

What I could not do I faked

I dug seeking treasure

Just to wake up in an early grave

So I stopped right there and said

Go on alone, 'cause I won't follow

This isn't giving up, no, this is letting go

Out with the old dreams I've borrowed

The path I carve from here on out will be my own

The path will be my own

This is the part where the needle skips

And the chorus plays like a sink that drips

A syllable repeating, like a warning we aren't heeding

Until all of a sudden we noticed it

When the wheels brace and the tires grip

A map we've been misreading

A defeat we're not conceding

Until now

There must be some other way out

Go on alone, because I won't follow

But this isn't giving up, no, this is letting go

Out with the old dreams I've borrowed

The path I carve from here on out will be my own

A path to take me home

(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

The wind died

The whole world ceased to move

Now so quiet

Her beating heart became a boom

We locked eyes

For just a moment or two

She asked why

I said I don't know why, I just know

The wind died

The whole world ceased to move

Now so quiet

Her beating heart became a boom

We locked eyes

For just a moment or two

She asked why

I said I don't know why

I just know

I just know

Go on alone, 'cause I won't follow

But this isn't giving up, no, this is letting go

I made the most of all this sorrow

I tried to brave this discontent, but now I'm through

I'm letting go of you

This is letting go

This is letting go

Once upon a time I could take anything, anything

Take it all away

Song of the day;;

→ Rise Against - From Heads Unworthy

We are the children you reject and disregard

These aching cries come from the bottom of our hearts

You can't disown us now, we are your own flesh and blood

And we don't disappear just because your eyes are shut

Now tell me

Love, loss

Like a bullet's path

Tear through

The cavity of my chest

Lights out

Because the fuse has blown

As their castles crumble slowly

We watch them fall

The crown slips from heads unworthy

As we gain control

This is the family that we crossed or never had

This is a war that was lost the day it began

'Cause it's the race we run, but it keeps us at the start

And it's the song I sung from the bottom of my heart

That's how we

Read you

Like a polygraph

Not one

Single bone in your back

Own up

To how you let us down

As their castles crumble slowly

We watch them fall

The crown slips from heads unworthy

As we gain control

Except for you and me, love

Everyone is the same,

We know, we know, we know, we know

But if to live, we have to be numb

I'd rather know the pain

I'd rather know, I'd rather know

This happens almost never

But it happened once to me

And this will never be the same

The ends we seam together

I'm not after fame and fortune

I'm after you

When I've served my time I swear I

Will come back for you

As their castles crumble slowly

We watch them fall

The crown slips from heads unworthy

Right on to ours, but I'm after you

I'm after you

I'm after you

I'm after you

→ Rise Against - Hero of War

He said, son, have you seen the world?

Well, what would you say if I said that you could?

Just carry this gun and you'll even get paid

I said, that sounds pretty good

Black leather boots

Spit-shined so bright

They cut off my hair but it looks alright

We marched and we sang

We all became friends

As we learned how to fight

A hero of war

Yeah that's what I'll be

And when I come home

They'll be damn proud of me

I'll carry this flag

To the grave if I must

Because it's a flag that I love

And a flag that I trust

I kicked in the door

I yelled my commands

The children, they cried

But I got my man

We took him away

A bag over his face

From his family and his friends

They took off his clothes

They pissed in his hands

I told them to stop

But then I joined in

We beat him with guns

And batons not just once

But again and again

A hero of war

Yeah that's what I'll be

And when I come home

They'll be damn proud of me

I'll carry this flag

To the grave if I must

Because it's a flag that I love

And a flag that I trust

She walked through bullets and haze

I asked her to stop

I begged her to stay

But she pressed on

So I lifted my gun

And I fired away

And the shells jumped through the smoke

And into the sand

That the blood now had soaked

She collapsed with a flag in her hand

A flag white as snow

A hero of war

Is that what they see

Just medals and scars

So damn proud of me

And I brought home that flag

Now it gathers dust

But it's a flag that I love

It's the only flag I trust

He said, son, have you seen the world?

Well what would you say, if I said that you could?

The good life

→ Rise Against - Whereabouts Unknown

To the ends of this lost world

You have marched and you have sworn

To a tainted crown of thorns

As the hungry sails unfurl

We are thrust from the shore

And it's you that we search for

The blackest night

The midnight sun

The covered tracks and days spent on the run

The strangers we've become

These whereabouts unknown

Please know you can come home

It's alright

I long for the moment

Our silence is broken

It's alright

It's alright

It's alright

Another place, another time

We toed the same side of the line

Yeah we saw eye to eye

Even then the saddest sounds,

Were nothing laughter could not drown

But we are not laughing now

I see your face

In my sights

I hesitate

And then look for a sign

Somewhere in the sky

These whereabouts unknown

Please know you can come home

It's alright

I long for the moment

Our silence is broken

It's alright

It's alright

It's alright

Even together, we stand apart

Swallow the sun, erase the sky

An invitation that's been declined

Where did you go? Where did you go?

No whereabouts unknown

Please know you can come home

It's alright

I long for the moment

Our silence is broken

It's alright

It's alright

It's alright

It's alright now

It's alright now

'Cause all is forgiven

If you could just listen

It's alright

Within the clouds

Song of the day;;

→ Rise Against - Savior

It kills me not to know this but I've all but just forgotten

What the colour of her eyes were and her scars or how she got them

As the telling signs of age rain down a single tear is dropping

Through the valleys of an aging face that his world has forgotten

There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place

And there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds

But seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you

Like walls that we just can't break through until we disappear

So tell me now

If this ain't love then how do we get out?

Because I don't know

That's when she said I don't hate you, boy

I just want to save you while there's still something left to save

That's when I told her I love you, girl

But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have

But the day pressed on like crushing weights

For no man does it ever wait

Like memories of dying ways

That deafen us like hurricanes

Bathed in flames we held the brand

Uncurled the fingers in your hand

Pressed into the flesh like sand

Now do you understand?

So tell me now

If this ain't love then how do we get out?

Because I don't know

That's when she said I don't hate you, boy

I just want to save you while there's still something left to save

That's when I told her I love you, girl

But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have

One thousand miles away

There's nothing left to say

But so much left that I don't know

We never had a choice

This world is too much noise

It takes me under

It takes me under once again

I don't hate you

I don't hate you, no

So tell me now

If this ain't love then how do we get out?

Because I don't know

That's when she said I don't hate you, boy

I just want to save you while there's still something left to save

That's when I told her I love you, girl

But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have

I don't hate you

I don't hate you

I don't hate you

I don't hate you, no

Song of the day;;

→ Rise Against - I Don't Want to Be Here Anymore

On pins and needles we are waiting for the fall

We count the days scratching lines on the wall

Wait in the wings at someone's back and call

No longer recognise the place that I call home

No longer recognise this face as my own

Somewhere, this fate, I lost control

We backed down

We took no for answers far too long

We felt those walls close around

I don't want to be here anymore

I don't want to be here anymore

I don't want to be here anymore

I know there's nothing left worth staying for

Your paradise is something I've endured

See, I don't think I can fight this anymore

I'm listening with one foot out the door

And something has to die to be reborn

I don't want to be here anymore

On hand and foot we answered every single call

And weathered every day like passing storms

But when they break, we will all be gone

Won't back down

Won't take no for answers anymore

These walls close, we pace back and forth

I don't want to be here anymore

I know there's nothing left worth staying for

Your paradise is something I've endured

See, I don't think I can fight this anymore

I'm listening with one foot out the door

But something has to die to be reborn

I don't want to be here anymore

The point where we break gets closer every day

But where do we go?

But where do we go?

I don't want to be here anymore

I don't want to be here anymore

I don't want to be here anymore

I know there's nothing left worth staying for

Your paradise is something I've endured

See, I don't think I can fight this anymore

I'm listening with one foot out the door

But something has to die to be reborn

I don't want to be here anymore, anymore

→ Rise Against - Zero Visibility

Settling in here for the long haul

Can't hide forever is what they say

In with the wind, out with a bang

Meanwhile nothing has changed

With each word slowly uttered

A storm brews in her eyes

A missed shot at the buzzard

Time, whether wasted

Or well-spent, is still time

We are not brave, we are not wise

We stand at the end of the longest lines

But we stand here all together

We have been damned, we have survived

We came back to homes we don't recognise

But we return here all together

Moments of clarity here are short-lived

Bled through the bandages again

When a lie is no longer white

But black as a day without sun

Passed out in a gutter

Woke up in your arms

Nursed back and recovered

The same touch that heals me

Left a scar

We are not brave, we are not wise

We stand at the end of the longest lines

But we stand here all together

We have been damned, we have survived

We came back to homes we don't recognise

But we return here all together

And the world works in ways that I never have claimed to know

We got out in front of the weather but it followed

The view from here isn't better but it's all we know

It's all we know

We are not brave, we are not wise

We stand at the edge of the border lines

But we stand here all together

We have been damned, we have survived

Who we've become you won't recognise

But we became them all together

All together

→ Rise Against - People Live Here

My god is better than yours

And the walls of my house are so thick

I hear nothing at all

I followed you out in the storm

But it carried you off

And I burned every picture of yours

Was that not enough?

My gun is bigger than yours

So let's arm the masses

And see what the bastards do then

Walking tall once set us apart

Now we're down on all fours

Do you cry my name in the dark

Like I do yours?

These storms are getting stronger now

Trusses all bend and sway

Lightning hits, the power goes out in the fray

As the waves crash high

And the shoreline disappears

I will scream to the sky

Hey, people live here

My dreams are not unlike yous

They long for the safety

And break like a glass chandelier

But there's laughter and oh, there is love

Just past the edge of our fears

And there's chaos when push comes to shove

But it's music to my ears

May you be in heaven before the devil knows you're dead

May these winds be always at your back

'Cause when we're all just ghosts

And the madness overtakes us

We will look at the ashes

And say, people lived here

From the penthouse to the holy martyr

Sea to shining sea

From the coffins full of kindergarteners

Is this what you call free?

From the hate that drips from all your crosses

Are your hands so clean?

There's a wildfire and it's spreading far

From sea to shining sea

When we're all just ghosts

And the madness overtakes us

I will scream to the sky, yeah, I'll scream to the sky

Yeah, I'll scream to the sky

Hey, people live here
