Rise Against - Endgame 2011 lyric
A Gentlemen's CoupThe pain, disorderA cataclysmic dawn We trusted but something has gone wrong We bought it But woke to find it gone Impact in 5, 4, 3, 2... Brace For Fallout The radiation creeps On cats' feet We scatter in the streets She asked me "do you think it's safe to breathe?" It doesn't look that way to me We storm the gates And raised new flags But it's just the same old story We seized the throne Subjugate We should have burned it to the ground Whoah... (Storm the gates Raised new flags Seized the throne Subjugate) Some might say we've lost our way But I believe we've not gone far enough Afraid, we cower To interests not our own The power to free or to control We let it skip through Our fingers to the floor Watch as the bodies wash ashore Whoah... Nobody lives here anymore We storm the gates And raised new flags But it's just the same old story We seized the throne Subjugate We should have burned it to the ground Whoah... (Storm the gates Raised new flags Seized the throne Subjugate) Some might say we've lost our way But I believe we've not gone far enough And how long will we fall for this? And how long will we fall for this? How long will we fall for this? And how long will we fall? And how long will we fall for this? And how long will we fall for this? And how long will we fall for this? How long, how...? We storm the gates And raised new flags But it's just the same old story We seized the throne Subjugate We should have burned it to the ground Whoah... (Storm the gates Raised new flags Seized the throne Subjugate) Some might say we've lost our way But I believe we've not gone far enough ArchitectsAre there no fighters left here any more?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 up and on the front lines Or at home keeping score? Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? (The bricks that seal your fate) Or would you rather be the architect of what we might create? They laid out the blueprints, they poured down a base Concrete solutions to slow our decay And when they are gone Who the fuck's gonna take their place? Yeah, will it be the cynics, the critics galore? 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 up and on the front lines? Or at home keeping score? Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? (The bricks that seal your fate) Or 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? Because 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 (We stood by before) And after everything we've seen here maybe even more And I know we're not the only ones we were not the first (We were not the first) Unapologetically we'll stand behind each word Broken MirrorsHey, man did you hearYour final days are near? A free fall of fire and ice And explosions in the sky A fate that we deserve There's no escaping No 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 show what we hear Like broken mirrors Reflections of an unfamiliar face Hey, hey! Hey, man, you got the time? Hey, can I trouble you for a light No, me? no, I'm not the old town crier I'm the one who sets it all on fire A fate that we deserve And there's no escaping No, 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 show what we hear Like broken mirrors Reflections of an unfamiliar face We hide from the mirrors They might show our scars And hear us Reflection that we want to be The people we are (the people we are) Defend your reflection Smash what you see And let's restart Cuz 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 show what we hear Like broken mirrors Like broken mirrors Like broken mirrors Like broken mirrors Like broken mirrors Reflections of an unfamiliar face Disparity By DesignAll the way at the bottomOf these barrels we cry out So ashamed of our tears that We blame only ourselves That's when they win They keep us convinced To lift up our chins These playing fields are level We all have a chance With that they dismiss The fast lanes they rode In which access depends on who you know Or where you came from Whose daughter are you? Whose fortunate son? Were told To stick out our thumbs They feast from the linens while we settle for crumbs Is this an over-reaching arm Or is this compassion? Is this a handout undeserved Or a just reparation? (a just reparation) Away from the towers High above the ceiling tombs Tell themselves That they've earned this By working hard Or playing by the rules But this is only part true A dangerous trick Played on me and you And so like a practical joke We pulled on these bootstraps So hard that they broke Is this an over-reaching arm Or is this compassion? Is this a handout undeserved Or a just reparation? And like a single domino That falls while the rest stay vertical Were fed these empty fairy tales Or will you believe them? And if there's a God You better pray That this sleeping giant never wakes If we just take a step back A bigger picture we might view Perhaps the man in the gutter Is not so different from you Come in out of the cold Forget all that you know Because there's always been room By the fire for you, oh Come in out of the cold Will you believe them? Is this an over-reaching arm Or is this compassion? Is this a handout undeserved Or a just reparation? And like a single domino That falls while the rest stay vertical Were fed these empty fairy tales And I'm through believing EndgameAnd on that day they'll tell youThat life hung on with no clue The warning signs were all just missed or shattered down So it goes The kings all failed to tell us The madmen failed to sell us Of what would then befall the only life we know When they're burning signal fires To guide us to the fields We're building funeral pyres They all commit a final appeal The city lines are down The kerosene's run out The fact surreal We relied upon I shed the sun clean skin And start to feel again Cuz all the shoulders I wish to cry on gone The paranoia gripped us Berate and then consume us The panic set in like a cancer to our hearts Spreading through We've been on fire like genius I pray for god to save us There was no answer, though Disease tore us apart We left bodies in the fields So numb that we forgot how to feel The city lines are down The kerosene's run out The fact surreal We relied upon I shed the sun clean skin And start to feel again Cuz all the shoulders I wish to cry on gone He looked at the fields, and then his hands All I need is what I have Then fell a tear of happiness Oh... She watched it all crumble away Is this the end of yesterday? "Lord, I hope so" is all he said All I've got are the organs All I've got are the (?) And as we go forth I pray we'll remember this day Oh, we relied on now The city lines are down The kerosene's run out The fact surreal We relied upon I shed the sun clean skin And start to feel again With no more shoulders, shoulders to cry on now No more, no more No more, no more No more, no more The weight that we once felt is gone Help Is On The WayI 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 has died 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 light, "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! [x3] 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! On the way! On the way! Make It StopWoah, woah.Bang bang go the coffin nails Like a breath exhaled Then gone forever It seems just like yesterday How did I miss the red flags raise? Think back to the days we laughed We braved these bitter storms together Brought to his knees he cried But on his feet he died What God would damn a heart? And what God drove us apart? What God could Make it stop? Let this end Eighteen years pushed to the ledge. It's come to this A weightless step On the way down singing Woah, woah Bang bang from the closet walls The schoolhouse halls The shotgun's loaded Push me and I'll push back I'm done asking, I demand From a nation under God, I feel it's love like a cattle prod Born free, but still they hate Bore me, no, I can't change It's always darkest just before the dawn So stay awake with me, let's prove them wrong Make it stop Let this end Eighteen years pushed to the ledge It's come to this A weightless step On the way down singing Woah, woah The cold river washed him away But how could we forget The gatherings hold candles But not their tongues And too much blood has flown from the wrist Of children shamed for those they chose to kiss Who will rise to stop the blood We're calling for, Insisting on A different beat, yeah A brand new song Woah, woah. Woah, woah. Woah, woah. Midnight HandsLike a new day risingLike a calm before the storm Like fog lifting from valleys On the sleeping forest floor Eyes open slowly as the dust is shaken off To gaze upon the wreckage That the midnight hands have wrought And now I feel my temperature rising My body explodes I feel like somebody's watching Like I'm not alone Whatever path you take And wherever you might go Whenever you decide you to leave I will follow, I will follow We face the crossroads never knowing what's in store There's an angel on my shoulder There's a devil in my door She proclaimed tonight will be the greatest of our lives I said 'Don't be so sure, let's just wait until the morning' There in the clearing we gather close Under the moon's pale light we lay out the tools [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/midnight-hands-lyrics-rise-against.html ] And you don't have to do this, and I forgive you if you don't She just looked away and said 'I know' Gripping the midnight hands We dream of futures they would prevent Gripping their midnight hands The line's crosses over, the dawn grows closer Let's bit off too much, let's? And now I feel my temperature rising My body explodes I feel like somebody's watching Like I'm not alone Whatever path you take And wherever you might go Whenever you decide to leave I will follow, I will follow I will bare the falls you take I will let go if you? I'll be there until you go away? I will follow x7 SatelliteYou 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 will 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 candle light. We are the orphans of the American dream. So shine a 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 untill your standing at the cliff. You can't truly love until you've given up on it. That's why we won't back down we will 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 candle light. 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 were gone, we'll stay gone out of sight out of mind. It's not too late we have the rest of our lives. 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 were gone, we'll stay gone out of sight out of mind. It's not too late we have the rest of our lives. We have the rest of our life. The rest of our life. Because we won't back down we will 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 candle light. We are the orphans of the American dream. So shine your light on me. Because we won't back down we will run and hide. Yeah cause these are the things that we can't deny. I'm passing over you like a satellite. Cause these are the things that we can't deny now. This is the life that you can't deny us now. Survivor Guilt("What are you talking about? America isn't going to be destroyed""never? Rome was destroyed, Greece was destroyed, Persia was destroyed, Spain was destroyed. All great countries are destroyed. Why not yours? How much longer do you really think your own country will last? forever?") Block the entrances, close the doors Seal the exits cuz this is war All gave some, some gave all But for what I wanna know Carry on, don't mind me All I gave was everything And yet you ask me for more Fought your fight Bought your lie In return I lost my life What purpose does this serve? A fallen figure Burn the heart A family all but torn apart And I fought with courage to preserve Not my way of life but yours Carry on, don't mind me All I gave was everything And yet you ask me for more Fought your fight Bought your lie In return I lost my life What purpose does this serve? The campers reaching battered stones With words that turn the cameras off But once it meant, just fuck them up Cuz freedom isn't free They send our daughters and our sons Deserts under burning sons Sacrificial slaughtering To fill the pockets of the weak I'm not official in the way Are we so easily deceived? They carry on ("You're a shameful opportunist! what you don't understand is that it's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees. "you have it backwards. it's better to live on your feet than to die on your knees. I know") Don't carry on Just walk away How many more sent to their graves In this lasting war? I fought your fight Bought your lie In return I lost my life What purpose does this serve? What purpose did I serve? This Is Letting GoOnce upon a time I could take anythingI 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 I stopped right then and said 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 This 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 notice 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 one 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 The path will be my own 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 now." Go on alone Because 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 Wait For MeDo you see the world in different colors?Do you see the world in black and gray? Alone in your thoughts How many others have stood where you stand Where you stand today? I've stood where you stand But how 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 airs running out Wait for me, wait for me Wait for me, wait for me now The promise of safe return I delivered But the oceans were 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 [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/wait-for-me-lyrics-rise-against.html ] Don't you know? Wait for me now The airs 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 have changed In time to hear the back door slam A sound that to this day I can't forget The colors drained to black and gray Oh... Wait for me now To take off this crown To break all these vows Don't you know? Wait for me now The airs running out Wait for me, wait for me Wait for me, wait for me now | |
