Rise Against - Architects(2011)

[00:15.10] Are there no fighters left here anymore?
[00:18.82] Are we the generation we've been waiting for?
[00:21.33] Or are we patiently burning
[00:23.48] Waiting to be saved?
[00:27.76] Our heroes, our icons have mellowed with age
[00:31.13] Following rules that they once disobeyed
[00:33.32] They're now being led when they used to lead the way
[00:39.68] Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before?
[00:46.19] Are you out there on the front lines
[00:48.70] Or at home keeping score?
[00:51.04] And do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate?
[00:56.67] Or would you rather be the architect of what we might create?
[01:03.30]
[01:08.37] They laid out the blueprints, they poured down a base
[01:11.50] Concrete solutions to slow our decay
[01:14.12] And when they are gone
[01:15.49] Who the fuck's gonna take their place?
[01:20.08] Yeah, will it be the cynics, the critics galore?
[01:23.36] The cliché apathetic passed out on the floor
[01:26.14] The trusting complicit who collectively ignore
[01:33.13] Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before?
[01:38.85] Are you out there on the front lines
[01:41.47] Or at home keeping score?
[01:43.75] And do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate?
[01:49.19] Or would you rather be the architect of what we might create?
[01:55.28]
[02:06.18] Don't you remember when you were young
[02:11.13] And you wanted to set the world on fire?
[02:17.06] Somewhere deep down, I know you do
[02:23.80]
[02:26.90] And don't you remember when we were young
[02:32.37] And we wanted to set the world on fire?
[02:37.89] 'Cause I still am, and I still do
[02:46.62] Make no mistake
[02:48.98] We are not afraid
[02:51.71] To bear the burden of repeating
[02:54.85] What they're thinking anyway
[02:57.35] Let's raise the stakes
[02:59.36] On the bet we made
[03:02.27] Let's decide to be the architects
[03:05.47] The masters of our fate
[03:07.85] Yeah, we still believe in all the things that we stood by before
[03:13.38] And after everything we've seen here maybe even more
[03:18.38] And I know we're not the only ones and we were not the first
[03:24.18] Unapologetically we'll stand behind each word
[03:30.53]
