Текст песни:

(are you ready to rock?)

Now′s the time
To rearrange your life
Live for something
Outside of your own mind
We all dream
The same dream every night
To burn the world that you call civilized

Alive and well
I live to be alive
And I live to always strive
For something more
Alive and well
I’ll never understand
The who, what, why or when
Of you tonight...

We face the stares of judgement
And almost everyday
The shaking heads
Of disapproval say,
"Pray for you to give me something
Then find out that there was nothing else."

Alive and well
I live to be alive
And I live to always strive
For something more
Alive and well
I’ll never understand
The who, what, why or when
Of you tonight...

Recite the words inside
Realize that this is nothing
Without your voice
I′m not giving up
Not giving up
Not giving up
And I’ll blame the worst on you
I know what′s wrong

Alive and well
I live to be alive
And i live to always strive
For something more
′Cause I’m alive and well
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
And i don′t need to explain
Myself to you
Myself to you

Текст песни:

Deep inside these burning buildings
Voices die to be heard
Years we spent teaching a lesson
We ourselves had never learned

And if strength is born from heartbreak
Then mountains I could move
And if walls could speak I′d pray
That they would tell me what to do

If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by.
Forget my name and I′ll forget it too.
Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives
Always keep me coming back to you.

No signs of life here, save the embers, the occasional flame,
We′d know the way but can′t remember, conception to the grave,
Shout confessions from the greatest heights, where no one can hear,
All my fears, my insecurities are falling like tears.

If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by.
Forget my name and I′ll forget it too.
Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives
Always keep me coming back to you.

The drones will slave away, they′re working overtime,
They serve a faceless queen, they never question why.
Disciples of a God, they neither live nor breathe, {I won′t come back!}
But we have bills to pay, yeah we have mouths to feed! {I won′t come back!}
I won′t come back!

And if you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by.
Forget my name and I′ll forget it too.
Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives
Always keep me coming back to you.

I′m coming back to you!

Текст песни:

Far from home on a road unknown
Where the vultures circle on winds that blow
From northern skies that haunt these waking moments
On shadows cast by the mountain range
On calloused soles we find our way
Through desperate eyes, we long for the horizon
While this sun is rising

We are the long forgotten sons
And daughters that don’ belong to anyone
We are alone under this sun
We work to fix the work that you’ve undone

When cries for help go unanswered
And signal fires just burn and burn
We wonder if we’re waiting here for nothing
′Cause our lips are sewn our ears are filled
With the constant drone of the unfulfilled
But we’ll never fall if we stand for something
We stand for something

We are the long forgotten sons
And daughters that don’ belong to anyone
We are alone under this sun
We work to fix the work that you’ve undone

Don’t fall, I see lights in the distance
They’re not far away
Stand up because the sky is turning gray

There’s hope in these footsteps of persistence
So don’t go astray
These lights get closer everyday

We are the long forgotten sons
Yeah we are the long forgotten sons

We are the long forgotten sons
And daughters that don’ belong to anyone
We are alone under this sun
We work to fix the work that you’ve undone
What you’ve undone
(what happens now, we don’t know, just hold on tight now here we go…)

Текст песни:

She got down on hands and knees,
One ear against the ground,
Holding her breath to hear something,
But the dirt made not a sound tonight

Echoes of songs still lurk on distant foreign shores,
Where we danced just to please the gods that only ask for more,
So it goes

But still we give ourselves to this
We can′t spend our lives waiting to live

On cold nights
In a prayer for dawn
But the daylight
Isn’t what she wants

The concrete
Calls my name again
I′m falling
Through the cracks I slip

The postcard says wish you were here
But I’d rather I was there,
Holding on to the simple things before they disappear,
That’s what I meant

But that was then, and this is now
I′ll make it up to you somehow

On cold nights
In a prayer for dawn
But the daylight
Isn’t what she wants

The concrete
Calls my name again
I′m falling
Through the cracks I slip

A destination, a fading smile.
Another station, another mile.
Another day gone, I swore that I will.
Be there before dawn.
So be there, I will.

She got down on hands and knees,
One ear against the ground,
Holding her breath to hear something,
Anything at all

The dirt whispered, "Child, I′m coming home"

On cold nights
In a prayer for dawn
But the daylight
Isn’t what she wants

The concrete
Calls my name again
I′m falling
Through the cracks I slip

Текст песни:

Information kept to myself and everybody wants to know,
I trust the words of no one else cause I′ve been there before,
Your voice is wasted ′cause I′m not listening

These callused fingers are wrapped around a black ball-point pen,
These eyes don′t wander as far as they at one time did,
I′ve seen the future, it′s fading faster

No place that I′d rather be than right here, right now
No time that I′d rather be than right here, right now

I′m on the other end begging you, pick up the phone,
A shaking whisper is answering, don′t call anymore
Your voice is wasted ′cause I′m not listening

Freeze me in this moment,
Thaw me in ten years, (thaw me in ten years)
When the fire′s burned out and the smoke (clears)

No place that I′d rather be than right here, right now
No time that I′d rather be than right here, right now

Let′s just pretend
Let′s just pretend
Let′s just pretend, let′s just pretend,
Tonight will never end
Let′s just pretend, let′s just pretend,
Tonight will never end

No place that I′d rather be than right here, right now
No time that I′d rather be than right here, right now

Текст песни:

We don′t sleep very much
These triggers ache for the touch
Where′s the strength we relied on?
Fear alone, like a crutch,
maybe that′s what keeps us up
all night with the light on

All these screams emulate
Lives that no longer take place
Can this be what we′ve become?
Paper thin, overweight,
pills to arouse or sedate
Still we don′t know what we want

We can′t let go
Can′t you see?
To lose control
is to be...

Finally free!
First a spark
Then a flame
Now a fire
We explode
into the darkest of nights
disconnect
cut the cord
lines are dead
Now they′ll know
with everything comes a price

And each day we are torn
between the right and the wrong
between life and convenience
Why do we sleep? Why complain?
There′s always channels to change
It′s like elective amnesia
As we grow older in this place
Let′s just start over
Let′s erase
What they′ve made!

First a spark
Then a flame
Now a fire
We explode
into the darkest of nights
disconnect
cut the cord
lines are dead
Now they′ll know
with everything comes a price

It could be minutes away
It could be hours or days
Before the bottom falls out
Before the ground gives way
Into this debt we are born
A debt we try to repay
And yet we blacken the sky
Smoke rising out of the flames
Now they′ll know...

First a spark
Then a flame
Now a fire
We explode
into the darkest of nights
disconnect
cut the cord
lines are dead
Now they′ll know
with everything comes a price
(First a spark)
(Then a flame)
(Now a fire)
We explode
We explode
With everything comes a prince
(disconnect)
(cut the cord)
(lines are dead)
We explode
We explode

Текст песни:

Fighting back the impulse turn my head and close my eyes
Spending these nights awake and cold and paralyzed
Wonder how we got this far and never realized
The common thread that binds our lives
And I know you hurt
But I can help you if you can...

Take my hand
And we′ll live inside the dreams we left behind
Take my hand
As we move from this place to a better life
Take my hand
Wohoooha
If you take my hand

Fighting back the feeling that you always could deny
Anything but everything we know is just a lie
As I cremate this memory and watch the darkened ashes rise
And beneath the smoke
I′ll stand and ask you if you can...

Take my hand
And I′ll promise not to ever let it go
Take my hand
′Cause this hope is greater than you′ll ever know
(Take my hand)
And this is all I′ll ever ask of you to show

Fight back the urges
Turn my head and close my eyes
And will I wake tomorrow still alive

I′m still dreaming
I′m still waiting
I′m still sure
(I′m still sure)
You′re still living in a life
That isn′t yours
(That isn′t yours)
And this is part of me
I hope you never see
This is my life inside your heart

Take my hand
And I′ll promise not to ever let it go
Take my hand
′Cause this hope is greater than you′ll ever know
(Take my hand)
And this is all I′ll ever ask of you to show

Текст песни:

Welcome home
While away
They have tampered with the locks
And your things they rearranged

"We propose a better way"
Said the note they left behind
In their wake of disarray
You fell in place

Don′t fall asleep
They′ll find us here
I know a place to disappear
As a voice proclaimed

What we are is the sum of 1000 lies
What we know is almost nothing at all
But we are what we are until the day we die
Or until we don′t have the strength to go on

Let us cry
Let us be
Let us open up our hearts
Without fear of anything

Faith alone
Is all we need
To traverse this burning bridge
Now before it gets too late
You said "it′s fine"

But the heart reveals
What smiles betray
Your sad sad eyes gave you away
Don′t you know

What we are is the sum of 1000 lies
What we know is almost nothing at all
But we are what we are until the day we die
Or until we don’t have the strength to go on

Our shoulders bear an awful weight
But still we trudge on just the same
Our colors run then leave a stain
They blacken our once honest name
But how can we argue, tell me
Over the fury and the fire
How many times can we tell you that we
Are not like you, we see right through
Your poor disguise that fails to fool
The wary eye that is trained on you

What we are is the sum of 1000 lies
What we know is almost nothing at all
But we are what we are until the day we die
Or until we don′t have the strength to go on
Until we don′t have the strength to go on

What we are is the sum of 1000 lies
What we know is almost nothing at all
But we are what we are until the day we die
Or until we don′t have the strength to go on
Until we don′t have the strength to go on
No we don′t have the strength to go on

Текст песни:

Anyway you want it
That’s the way you need it
Anyway you want it

She loves to dance
She loves to sing
She does everything
She loves to move
She loves to groove
She loves the lovin′ things

All night
All night
Oh every night
So hold tight
Hold tight
Oh baby hold tight

She said
Anyway you want it
That’s the way you need it
Anyway you want it
Anyway you want it
That’s the way you need it
Anyway you want it

I was alone
I never knew
What good love could do
Then we touched
And we sang
About the lovin′ things

All night
All night
Oh every night
So hold tight
Hold tight
Oh baby hold tight

She said
Anyway you want it
That’s the way you need it
Anyway you want it
Anyway you want it
That’s the way you need it
Anyway you want it

Текст песни:

All we are is entertainment
Caught up in our own derangement
Tell us what to say and what to do
All we are are pretty faces
Picture perfect bottled rage
Packaged synthesized versions of you

We′ve all made petty fortunes but we can′t afford a life
Confined to pull-out quotes and hotel rooms
They all scream California and its toppling empire
But can′t you see the end is coming soon

Come one come all the new sensation
Guarantees then obligations
Spotlights follow every single move
Basking here on ten foot stages
Pouty lips and oh so jaded
All as if we have something to prove

Despite these petty fortunes we still can′t afford a life
Confined to pull-out quotes and hotel rooms
They all scream California and its toppling empire
But can′t you see the end is here

And if we cared at all
about this unknown plight
then we′d do something more
to finally make this right

Is this only entertainment
Pull the curtains, places please
We′ve learned to sing and dance and cry on cue
But this is more than entertainment
In a world so sick with pain
This is the only thing that′s real or true

We′ve all made petty fortunes but we can′t afford a life
Confined to pull-out quotes and hotel rooms
They all scream bloody murder over graves already dug
But can′t you see the end

@ Rise Against

Текст песни:

One last thing I beg you please just before you go
I′ve watched you fly on paper wings halfway around the world
Until they burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down
Landing somewhere far from here with no one else around
To catch you falling down
And I′m looking at you now

And I can′t tell if you′re laughing
Between each smile there′s a tear in your eye
There’s a train leaving town in an hour
It’s not waiting for you, and neither am I

"Swing for the fences, son" he must have told you once
But that was a conversation you took nothing from
So raise your glass now, lets celebrate exactly what you′ve done
Just put off another day of knowing where you′re from
You can catch up with yourself if you run...

And I can′t tell if you′re laughing
Between each smile there′s a tear in your eye
There’s a train leaving town in an hour
It’s not waiting for you, and neither am I

Is this the life that you lead,
Or the life that′s lead for you?
Will you take the road that′s been laid out before you?
Will we cross paths somewhere else tonight?
Somewhere else tonight...

And I can′t tell if you′re laughing
Between each smile there′s a tear in your eye
There’s a train leaving town in an hour
It’s not waiting for you, and neither am I
[x2]

Текст песни:

And all these things that we tie together
Keep unraveling apart
And the light that used to burn so bright
Now is dark
With anger-laced intent we set fire
To the bridges that remain
And they′re wading through the current now.

And they drown in the flood of the tears
That have been wept
And I scream to the sky
"No, you are not alone..."

If you think that your words will ever make a difference
Think again and carry on
Because the weight behind the hand that holds us is strong
But there is hope in the roar of a thousand pleading cries
And all these things that we tie together

The sound of their tongues being bitten
Is all I hear?
As we fire at the whites of their eyes then
Dance on ashes of the world

As they drown in the flood of the tears
That have been wept
And their tongues being bitten
Is all that I can hear
As I scream to the sky,
"I need you now..."

Can you feel this truth now unraveling?
Or will you chase the burning sun
Into the sea.

Текст песни:

I can still remember
The words and what they meant
As we etched them with our fingers
In years of wet cement
The days blurred into each other
Though everything seemed clear
We cruised along at half speed
But then we shifted gears

We ran like vampires from a thousand burning sons
But even then we should have stayed
But we ran away
Now all my friends are gone
Maybe we′ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway
But what are we running from?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone?

Identities assume us
As nine and five add up
Synchronizing watches
To the seconds that we lost
I looked up and saw you
I know that you saw me
We froze but for a moment
In empathy

I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug
You gave my emptiness a name
But you ran away
Now all my friends are gone
Maybe we′ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway
But what are we running from?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone?

We′re all ok, until the day we′re not
The surface shines, while the inside rots
We raced the sunset and we almost won
We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went on

We ran away
Now all my friends are gone
Maybe we′ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway
But what are we running from?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone?

Текст песни:

In the face of change
That’s when she turned to me and said,
"I’m not sure anymore..."
And there amidst the waves
And the cloudless skies
That blanket the year before
I watch my life wash a shore

Have you ever been a part of something
That you thought would never end?
And then of course it did
Have you ever felt the weight inside you
Pulling away inside your skin?
And then something had to give

Now the lines are drawn
Is this feeling gone?
The best parts of this have come and gone
And now that is all this is
With the reasons clear
We’ll spend another year
Without direction, full of fear
And now things will be different

There’s nothing simple when it comes to you and i
Always something in this everchanging life
And it probably always will
Now that time is getting harder to come by
The same arguments are always on our mind
We’ve killed this slowly fading light

Now the lines are drawn
Is this feeling gone?
The best parts of this have come and gone
And now that is all this is
With the reasons clear
We’ll spend another year
Without direction, full of fear
But now things will be different

And now something has kept me here too long
And you can′t leave me if I’m already gone

Well now something (hey) has kept me here too long
And you can′t leave me (hey) if I’m already gone

Now let′s say that something (hey) has kept me here too long
And you can′t leave me (hey) if I’m already gone

Make the same mistakes we′re always hanging on
Break the promises we′re always leaning on
All this time spent waking up
{Now I} keep this line open to get this call from you
{As you} speak the words that keep me coming back to you
Now this time it′s all different

Now something has kept me here too long and now I’m gone...

Текст песни:

Warm yourself by the fire, son,
And the morning will come soon.
I’ll tell you stories of a better time,
In a place that we once knew.

Before we packed our bags
And left all this behind us in the dust,
We had a place that we could call home,
And a life no one could touch.

Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

Down!

We are the angry and the desperate,
The hungry, and the cold,
We are the ones who kept quiet,
And always did what we were told.

But we’ve been sweating while you slept so calm,
In the safety of your home.
We’ve been pulling out the nails that hold up
Everything you’ve known.

Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

So open your eyes child,
Let’s be on our way.
Broken windows and ashes
Are guiding the way.

Keep quiet no longer,
We’ll sing through the day,
Of the lives that we’ve lost,
And the lives we’ve reclaimed.

Go!

Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

Don’t hold me up…
(I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
Don’t hold me up…
(I don’t need your help)
No! No! No!
Don’t hold me up!
(I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
Don’t hold me up!
(I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
Don’t let me down, down, down, down, down!

Текст песни:

Are we so alone?
So distant,
So forgotten,
As we think ourselves to be?

These are our lives
But did they ever even matter?
Are we worth remembering?

These machines feed on the tears
Of broken lives and dying dreams
We’re throwing wrenches in the gears
Our lives will not be lived in vain

When this is all said and done
We spent this life on the run
Judged by the company we keep

Our language, buried inside
These lungs that keep us alive
We breathe so selfishly

Promises we plan to break
Are made in whispered voices
‘Cause our despair knows many names

We make mistakes
But we apologize with roses
We never stop to smell along the way

These machines feed on the tears
Of broken lives and dying dreams
We’re throwing wrenches in the gears
Our lives will not be lived in vain

When this is all said and done
We spent this life on the run
Judged by the company we keep

Our language, buried inside
These lungs that keep us alive
We breathe so selfishly

We fell from the sky today
We melt into balls of clay
We sell ourselves everyday
Don’t tell me how to live this way

Pushed so far to the edge
We teeter just on the brink
You can lead me to the bloodbath
But you can’t make me drink

As these machines feed on the tears
Of broken lives and dying dreams
We’re throwing wrenches in the gears
Our lives will not be lived in vain
My life will not be lived in vain
