Rise Against



Are there no fighters left here anymore?

Are we the generation we've been waiting for?

Are we patiently burning, waiting to be saved?



Our heroes are icons that mellow with age

Following rules that they once disobeyed

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



Do you still believe in all the things

That you stood by before?

I hope they're on the front lines

or at home keeping score

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

or 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

they say "how pathetic" passed out on the floor

this trustee complicit 

who collectively ignore



Do you still believe in all the things

That you stood by before?

I hope they're on the front lines

or at home keeping score

Do you care to be the layer of 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?

Cuz 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.

and after everything we've seen

maybe even more

I know we're not the only ones

and we were not the first

and unapologetically

we stand behind these words
