Rise Against
Rise Against - The Violence lyrics
Your rating:
Dancing on the crumbling precipice The rocks are coming loose just at the edge Are we laughing? Are we crying? Are we drowning? Are we dead? Or was it all a dream? The bombs are getting closer everyday 'That can never happen here' we used to say Have these wars come to our doorstep? Has this moment finally come? Or was it all a dream? Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough? Is the violence in our nature just the image of our maker? Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough? To become something greater Than the violence in our nature? Are we not good enough or was it all a dream? To a pretty time and fate are we condemned Or maybe we're a book without an end We're not stories, we're not actors We're awake and in control And this is not a dream So can we break this mold And set in motion something new Forgetting what we know An evolution overdue Fight the current Pull the the ripcord Get away! Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough? Is the violence in our nature just the image of our maker? Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough? To become something greater Than the violence in our nature? Are we not good, good enough? We travel back To what we take We need a storm Let's pray for rain now To wash these roads away Let's get off track and wander far Same roads reducing destinations Do nothing but show our heart We're talking in our sleep And sleeping through our lives We dream of the places where we never die We step from our shadows And into the light Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough? Is the violence in our nature just the image of our maker? Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough? To become something greater Than the violence in our nature? Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough? Are we not good, good enough? Or was it all a dream?
